The Inn Place

As Christmas gets closer, Edinburgh begins to buzz again after the brief post-Festival lull. It’s the ideal time to book a break in the capital to enjoy the culture, the shopping, the shows and the city’s festive season events that start from mid-November.

Today’s Big Deal offers an overnight stay at the Inn Place, a cool boutique hotel just off the Royal Mile and a few minutes stroll from the shops and sights of Princes Street.

Old Town comfort

Built as a publishing office in the 19th-century, this elegant hotel is situated on Cockburn Street, between the Royal Mile and Princes Street. It’s a unique building with plenty of period character.

Available seven days, the Big Deal is for two people to have an overnight stay in a King double room with full Scottish breakfast, a bottle of wine and petit fours on arrival.

The Inn Place guestrooms have en-suite bathrooms with free toiletries, most with showers but with baths on request. Amenities include tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryers and digital Freeview televisions.

Out and about

The Inn Place is conveniently located for the shops of the Royal Mile and Princes Street, as well as the major shows at the Festival Theatre and The Playhouse. Highlights in late 2016 include Scottish Opera’s Marriage of Figaro at the Festival Theatre in November, Billy Elliot, running at the Playhouse until 22 October and feel-good musical Mamma Mia, running from 29 November to 7 January.

Edinburgh’s Christmas and Hogmanay events get underway from 18 November, with a wealth of shows, rides, ice-skating and attractions in Princes Street Gardens, and the popular Christmas markets on Princes Street and St Andrews Square. This year also sees the launch of Christmas shows in the West End at The Lyceum, Traverse Theatre and Usher Hall.
