When planning a trip to Edinburgh, why not be different and eschew the numerous chain hotels for the luxurious apartment accommodation Edinburgh has to offer. There is such a wide choice of luxury apartments to be had; from the gothic beauty of Old Town to the Georgian elegance of New Town, exclusive apartments abound.

Edinburgh’s accommodation is some of the best Scotland has to offer. The luxury apartments are furnished in the most contemporary style; and even though the housing is historic, the Edinburgh’s accommodation is bang up to date with under floor heating, the latest technology and all the other mod cons you’d expect in a state of the art apartment.

These fully fitted apartments, with their washing machines and tumble dryers, ironing boards and dishwashers may sounds mundane, but they are far from it. Self serviced, apartment accommodation brings together the luxury of a hotel room with the freedom of your own home.

Centrally located, close to tourist attractions, beautiful restaurants and stunning shops, the accommodation Edinburgh has to offer is second to none. It is also cheaper and more economical than renting a hotel – maintaining a hotel is an expensive operation in comparison to managing an apartment, hence the inflated rates hotels will charge. There are no hidden extra charges for services like the restaurant, bar, laundry or room service, and although they do not scrimp on service or style, apartment accommodation still works out more affordably.

With apartment accommodation, you are free to explore the many and varied eateries and watering holes that Edinburgh has to offer. Alternatively, if you fancy something simple, it is easy to knock something up yourself, using freshly bought ingredients from the Farmers Market – just like a true local.

Self serviced accommodation gives you the freedom to run on your own time schedule, not the hotels. This is a huge consideration for couples on a romantic break who don’t want to be disturbed by housekeepers, concierge or receptionist. It’s also a benefit for families with children who have a tendency to wake up in the night and need feeding at hours when hotel restaurants aren’t open. Apartments are spacious giving the children have more room to entertain themselves; they won’t be getting underfoot in the spacious apartment accommodation Edinburgh offers – unlike those confined hotel rooms where you can’t swing a cat and the TV balances precariously high on a ledge.
