Prestonfield House
Edinburgh, Scotland
8Telegraph expert rating
This is the swankiest, most swoon-some country house hotel imaginable, hidden in lush grounds a short drive from the city centre, on the south-eastern outskirts of Edinburgh. It is riotously rococo, with bedrooms straight from the pages of bodice-ripping romance. Think a velvet-hung four poster, silk toile wallpaper or silver chariot bath. It also hosts Rhubarb, a candle-lit, gothic fantasy that is one of Edinburgh’s favourite restaurants and has an 800-plus list of wines. Parking is free for guests.

The Bonham
Edinburgh, Scotland
8Telegraph expert rating
Behind the sober facade of this 19th-century West End townhouse is a hotel combining restrained urban cool and a smattering of good modern art with faintly riotous boutique bedrooms: monochrome or fizzy lime green, purple and raspberry stripes. The bright, snazzy restaurant, full of warm woods and over-sized glasses, has a Polish chef – Maciej Szymik – cooking classic dishes with a modern (Scottish) twist and making good use of local produce. On-site parking from £15 for 24 hours. Read expert review From £65per night Check availability Rates provided by Booking.com

The Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland
7Telegraph expert rating
If you’re looking for a slightly (but not alarmingly) cooler mid-range brand, this one’s for you. You’ll find no tartan here, despite the 16th-century exterior – inside it’s contemporary all the way. Sharp-looking bedrooms are charcoal and white with a splash of acid yellow; a pillow menu is available. This is the sort of hotel people whisk through rather than alight in, but there’s a quiet lounge area, a bar, a small spa, gym and pool. On-site parking from £12.50 for 24 hours.
