The Glasshouse, Edinburgh
Scotland’s capital has it all: theatres, art galleries, museums and handsome architecture aplenty, perfect for a stay taking in the sights. Set in the heart of Edinburgh, with the shopping haven of Princes Street, historic Edinburgh Castle and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery all just steps away, The Glasshouse is the ideal five-star location for a Mother’s Day getaway. The 77-room luxury boutique hotel greets guests with its impressive, 170-year-old original church facade, and boasts more outdoor space than any hotel in Edinburgh, thanks to its variety of balcony rooms, and the Rooftop Garden – a two-acre terrace accessible to all guests, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the city from above, and of the famous Calton Hill from below. Treat your mum to the hotel’s traditional afternoon tea, using quality local ingredients with a modern twist.
