Tigerlily
Edinburgh, United Kingdom[view map]
- Style
- Decadent urban dwelling
- Setting
- Fashionable former finance hub
Edinburgh boutique hotel Tigerlily has thrown the rule book out the window, working a bright, modern and luxe theme with mosaic mirror tiles, silver, white and glass. And that’s just the reception: rooms have massive beds, the restaurant is a sprawling maze of cosy bench nooks, crystal curtains and sleek tables – and there's even a nightclub, which attracts hip-hunting barflies like moths to the flame. The coffee's pretty darn good, too…

Food & drink
- Hotel restaurant
- This huge open‑plan hangout is gorgeous to look at, and trying to decide whether you fancy British, Mediterranean or Asian cuisine from the extensive menus will necessitate at least one aperitif to keep you going. The café is also excellent.

- Cool cat by day; glamourpuss by night.
