Rating: AA Hotel of the Year 2005AA 5 Red Star Hotel 2006Rated one of the Best 101 Hotels in the World by Tatler and Abercrombie and Kent.
Prestonfield is the AA Hotel of the Year 2005 and the most talked-about hotel in Scotland - recently awarded the ultimate rating of 5 AA Red Stars to become the only hotel of this caliber in Edinburgh. Opulent and indulgent it every way it is totally unique. Prestonfield is rated one of the Best 101 Hotels in the World by Tatler and Abercrombie and Kent. Voyager confirm it as the stuff of pure fantasy - and by Conde Nast Traveller it is so extravagant it is like walking onto the set of some flamboyant costume drama. Located in an exceptionally well-restored 17th-century mansion - Prestonfield was built as the grand home of a former Lord Mayor of Edinburgh. Prestonfield is still surrounded by acres of Royal Parkland and a golf course - yet it is just moments from the historic attractions of Edinburgh Castle - the Royal Mile - the business district and shopping areas. Privately owned by James Thomson - creator of the world-renowned Witchery by the Castle Restaurant - his recent lavish restoration has brought luxury - theatre and comfort to the most character filled hotel in Scotland - Each of the 24 bedrooms and suites has been individually decorated in his trademark style. Guests will find every modern convenience - from air-conditioning to Plasma TVs - Bose CD players - DVDs and controllable lighting hidden behind the velvet upholstered walls. Designed to impress its many famous visitors - Prestonfield is just as impressive today with a sumptuous collection of log-fired public rooms - private dining rooms - bars and the Rhubarb Restaurant. The Prestonfield experience is truly unique and memorable - from the warm greeting of our black-kilted porters when you arrive to the complimentary chilled bottle of Champagne in your room. With Champagne - full Scottish breakfasts and newspapers included - you will agree with the Mrs and Mrs Smith Guide who described Prestonfield as VIP treatment without the A-list price tag. Opulence has never been so affordable.
