“The Edinburgh Grand impresses with its apartment-style accommodations, blending historical architecture and modern luxury. Its central location puts guests steps from Edinburgh's attractions, though some past visitors have reported noise issues in certain rooms, and problems with some rooms, so I suggest you check yours. The Hawksmoor restaurant adds a sophisticated dining option to this otherwise excellent experience.”
