THE DUNSTANE HOUSES, EDINBURGH

Only a short stroll from Edinburgh’s buzzy West End, The Dunstane Houses (thedunstane.com) is a family-run boutique hotel made up of 35 individually decorated rooms split between two heritage buildings. In the Dunstane Suite, there’s a giant copper tub by the Victorian bay windows, so you can bathe in Noble Isle bubbles while admiring the views over the city. Downstairs, an impressive art collection hangs on the walls, from charcoal nudes to architectural prints and Rolls

Royce photographs, complemented by a number of stained-glass windows. Round off the day with a malt whisky nightcap, chosen from the wellstocked cabinet in the Ba’ Bar.

The Dunstane Houses’ 35 bedrooms are located in two Victorian town houses found just across the road from each other and were outfitted to balance tradition with modern comfort
