- Contemporary cocktail bar
- Setting
- The heart of Edinburgh
Rick’s isn’t exactly a hotel: it’s a designer bar with contemporary rooms. Low ceilings and coloured mood lighting give it a cosy, intimate atmosphere; brown banquette seats, burgundy leather cubes and giant cacti in stone pots make attractive surrounds. Classic house tunes play in the background, and the black-clad staff are friendly and obliging. It’s modern, it’s hip, it’s bang in the middle of Edinburgh, and we’ve never been anywhere quite like it.
