WHAT WE LOVE...

Edinburgh's West End crescents are long curving streets of Georgian houses built on a grand scale for men of wealth and substance. A group of five of these now form the Chester Residence, 28 contemporary suites that will send design mavens to fixture and furnishings heaven (spot the Louis Vuitton). Never believe anyone who tells you size doesn't matter; think of the baths they can get into some of those bathrooms, while terrifically well kitted-out kitchens may prompt spontaneous cookery demonstrations (except in the morning when you'll want to stay in bed awaiting your breakfast hamper).

THE DETAILS

Location

We love the peace at the hotel, away from the crowds and the hoi-polloi, yet it is barely a ten-minute walk from the west end of Princes Street.

Edinburgh's art galleries, museums, shops, cafes and restaurants are a short walk away.
By car: from Glasgow around 1 hour, from Newcastle around 2 hours 40 minutes and from Manchester just over 4 hours. Parking can be arranged nearby.
By train: from Glasgow Queens Street around 50 minutes, from Manchester Picadilly around 3 hours and from London Kings Cross around 4 hours 45 minutes. The hotel is a 25-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley station or a 10-minute taxi ride. thetrainline.com

The Chester Residence suits anyone looking for high-end hotel style but wanting the space and freedom of self-catering. Sleek kitchens are equipped with all the best brands - everything you could possibly need to cook a gourmet meal.

Service & Facilities

We love the 'Romance Package': cupcakes from a local bakery, the turn-down feature (hoping you're not), bubbles in the bath and by the bottle, breakfast delivered… and a single red rose.
