Radisson SAS Hotel

Frommer's Review

Formerly the "Crowne Plaza," this is the preferred major hotel in Old Town for many visitors. The baronial style building lies midway along the Royal Mile, halfway between Edinburgh Castle and Holyroodhouse. In spite of the antique geography, the hotel is thoroughly modernized and offers first-class facilities (if lacking the old-world charm of some of Edinburgh's grand dame hotels). It's also one of the best-equipped hotels in the area, with such luxuries as a leisure club with a jet-stream pool and undercover parking. Most of the bedrooms are spacious and well-decorated; bathrooms contain tub/shower combinations and heated floors for those chilly Scottish mornings. Carrubbers restaurant specializes in steak, while the less formal Itchycoo Bar and Kitchen offers tapas style eating. Check the Radisson website for "special offers" and "best online price guarantee."
