bold design & distinct comfort
A modern take on Baronial materiality and composition provides the inspiration behind our unique guest rooms. Natural materials such as white oak and textured stone provide a tactile canvas for modern design classics, alongside custom-made furniture and handcrafted pieces. Charming wooden shutters are inspired by the original window fixtures of the historic Old Town and create a warm, homely atmosphere, which is further encouraged by the use of fabric wallpaper and soft woollen accents. Guest room bathrooms have been designed as modern ante-rooms, finished in luxurious marble, featuring solid stone basins and rainfall showers by Via Bizzuno accompanied with amenities from North Berwick based brand Laura Thomas Co.
Location excellent. The hotel its self was lovely and clean. The bar area was on the 7th floor so you had an amazing view looking over the city. Rooms are well priced with the mini bar and snacks included on the price. I would highly recommend this hotel.
