“In Edinburgh's Bruntsfield neighborhood, this boutique hotel strikes me as a smart choice. Its lively bar, complete with DJ entertainment, has a distinct appeal, and the location, while not directly in the city center, has the advantage of being near Links Park. I also note that the hotel welcomes dogs, which, coupled with its outdoor terrace, gives it an accommodating touch.”
