Balmoral - the only place a contractor should frequent!!
They do valet parking - poor s0d, we drove from Stockport in one go, a bit of a shed inside - 'her' sweet wrappers and my pork pie crumbs...
It was nice to sit on the 'throne' looking straight down Princes St.

Stay at the Cally - The Caledonian.
I stayed there last year, in the Robert Burns suite. A bit pricey but you get a bedroom, a separate lounge with a telescope with views of the castle, and his and hers shower room.
Mind the prices at the bar, where I accidentally paid £15 for a single shot of one of their finest Bruichladdich scotch.Comment

The Witchery has a couple of really nice rooms, but they're not cheap. And of course the restaurant is excellentComment

The Apex group have 3 in Edinburgh, I have stayed in one, which was nice, but the other two are very good. Apex Waterloo Place I think is the good one. Try laterooms too, some good oens there.
When working there, I stayed at the Holiday Inn at Corstorphine and it was a good hotel with a nice chinese restaurant on the side, and was right by the zoo.Comment
