Kimpton Charlotte Square

The place

Seven Georgian townhouses from 1918, joined together in Edinburgh's New Town. Goddard Littlefair's interiors read like a cosmopolitan clubhouse. The 199 rooms are stylish and eclectic — residential furniture, rich textures, curated objects placed with intent.

Below sit an indoor pool, a fitness center, a cardio zone, and a spa.

Three rooms for eating and drinking. BABA cooks bold Levantine dishes with Scottish influences; Aizle builds curated tasting menus from Scotland's natural bounties.
