One Royal Circus

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Style Neoclassical playboy mansion

Setting Refined New Town crescent

Overnighting at boutique guesthouse One Royal Circus in Edinburgh is like staying at an impossibly cool friend’s townhouse – without having to be charming to the friend. This 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).

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 two suites, which occupy the upper floors; those at the front have views over Royal Circus. The top-floor master suite can be made into a family suite with an interconnecting room featuring handmade bunk beds.

Packing tips

Preloaded iPod to dock in your room; killer heels for posing on the red-velvet Edra Tatlin spiral sofa while your other half mixes your martini.
