Frommer's Review
Near Edinburgh's Usher Hall, Traverse, and Royal Lyceum theaters, the Sheraton Grand is elegant, with soaring public rooms and rich carpeting. With a good location and state-of-the-art spa and leisure facilities (including a rooftop indoor/outdoor pool), this hotel pretty much has it all. The castle-view rooms on the top floors are the best (and most expensive). The main restaurant, with views of the Festival Square, presents well-prepared meals and a lavish Sunday buffet, while an annex houses the Italian Santini restaurant below the spa.
Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 bars; indoor and outdoor pools; exercise room; spa; sauna; concierge; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
