£ £ THE SCOTSMAN HOTEL

For nearly a century, The Scotsman newspaper was based in this baroque building — all stained-glass windows, wood panelling and a striking marble staircase. It was converted into a hotel in 2001, and then revamped in 2017, with rooms now decked out in cappuccino tones, each with a nod to the building’s heritage — choose from the likes of Reporter Rooms and Headline Suites. It also hosts the Scotsman Picturehouse, with its eclectic programme of cult classics, new releases and live theatre screenings.
