The Edinburgh Hotels
guide lists architect-designed hotels. The Hotels are mostly contemporary.
The key classics, such as The Balmoral Hotel & The Caledonian Hotel, are
inserted to give depth. Unlike other Edinburgh hotel guides, this one is
focused on the architecture/interiors with contact details direct to the
Hotels' own websites.

Greywalls Hotel
Duncur Road, Muirfield, Gullane, East Lothian
+44 (0)1620 842144
summer opening only
Lutyens-designed house, Gertrude Jekyll-designed gardens: like entering
an Agatha Christie film. Decadent, charming and superb location but
food lacking a level of finesse considering the heavy tarriff, or
so I thought after my first visit. A second visit on the opening night
for 2002 was delightful. Grey Walls
Hotel, however is not about food [amongst my family], it's about
being cosseted: you are welcomed into the Library for obligatory drinks
before the roaring fire with views out to the sea. You are made to
feel welcome. You are made to feel at home.

Brown's
Hotel
1 West Road, Haddington
+44 (0)1620 822254
Another non-contemporary building - a large former private house on
the main road into Haddington from the west. Service at Browns
Hotel Haddington was very personal and rather unusual on our visit.
The dining room is fancy and the food showy but one was left wondering
what the fuss was about. |
