Ten Hill Place, WorldHotels Distinctive

There is a version of Edinburgh that exists just off the main thoroughfares, where the crowds of the Royal Mile give way to quiet Georgian squares and the city feels like it belongs to those who know it. Ten Hill Place, in Edinburgh, sits in exactly that pocket, on tranquil Hill Square in the Old Town, moments from the centre yet a world apart from the bustle. The best of the city opens up from the front door. The Festival Theatre is across the road, the National Museum of Scotland is around the corner, and the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and Holyrood Palace are all within an easy walk. Step out early, before the day-trippers arrive, and the Old Town's closes and cobbles are at their most atmospheric. The hotel carries a quiet sophistication through its airy public spaces and smart bedrooms, with the Skyline Junior Suites looking out over the Old Town rooftops to Arthur's Seat and the Salisbury Crags. Settle in at the restaurant for a decadent dinner built on Scottish, seasonal produce, perhaps paired with the house 1505 gin, then unwind in the wine bar as the evening draws in. There is one more reason this stay feels different: Ten Hill Place is owned by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and its profits go toward training surgeons worldwide. Holder of a Gold Green Tourism award, it pairs that purpose with genuine care. Book your stay at the Ten Hill Place, WorldHotels Distinctive and let the Old Town reveal itself.
