PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Leith's stylish boutique hotel, amid the old harbor district, Malmaison is only a few steps from the Water of Leith, the Edinburgh stream that empties into the sea here. It was converted from an 1883 seamen's mission/dorm and is capped by a stately, stone clock tower. A hip, unpretentious place has been created with a minimalist decor. Rooms are average in size but individually designed and well equipped. The leisure facilities are limited to an exercise room, but you'll find the brasserie and a cafe and wine bar favored by locals. Even during summertime, at least before the Festival begins, Malmaison's online reservation system offers good discounts.
