In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- Each of the rooms is spacious, and bathrooms are all tricked out with Hansgrohe fittings by Philippe Starck. We love the three suites, which occupy the upper floors; those at the front have views over Royal Circus gardens. The top-floor master suite can be made into a family suite with an interconnecting room for the kids that features handmade wooden bunk beds. Downstairs rooms are nice too, but they don't have the views.
- Packing tips
- Preloaded iPod to dock in your room; killer heels for posing on the red-velvet Edra Tatlin spiral sofa while your other mixes your martini.

One Royal Circus
Edinburgh, United Kingdom[view map]
- Style
- Neoclassical playboy mansion
- Setting
- Refined New Town crescent
Overnighting at boutique guesthouse One Royal Circus is like staying at an impossibly cool friend’s townhouse – without having to be charming to the friend. This Edinburgh bed and breakfast (B&B in this case standing for ‘bed of roses and breakfast of champions’) has far more in the way of home comforts than the average city put-you-up, including an impressive Salon, a baby grand piano, pool table and gym. Despite its obvious perfection as a party pad for friends, couples will be instantly at home (and putting their feet up on the Starck-style tables).
