Detailed Review
Situated on the harbour of the bohemian Port of Leith lies the trendy Malmaison Edinburgh. Just fifteen minutes from the centre of Edinburgh this luxury hotel combines a unique contemporary style with personal charm.
The facilities
Malmaison Edinburgh offers a wide array of fitness options ranging from the aptly named gym: Gymtonic, to custom jogging maps for the outdoor runner. The gym features resistance and running machines and free-weights, perfect for a quick workout.
For the ultimate dining experience this luxury hotel has got all bases covered. The restaurant serves up a menu of beautifully presented local fare amidst leather banquettes and wrought ironwork aptly candlelit.
The Mal Bar is the favourite retreat of Edinburgh’s movers and shakers, and serves up a glorious mix of wine, cocktails, bubbly, frothy coffees and ultra tasty anytime snacks. On sunny days, drinks are often enjoyed on the terrace.
The rooms
Each of the luxury hotel’s 100 rooms are uniquely designed varying from bold colours and stripes to more muted, subtle tones. All of the rooms come with a complete set of Malmaison ingredients - great beds, mood lighting, power showers, CD players, CD libraries, satellite TV, wines and naughty nibbles. Other little luxuries include free internet access, same-day laundry and room service available for breakfast, dinner or those midnight cravings.
For a rush of decadence, check in to this luxury hotel’s room 121. A four-poster bed, draped in regal coloured fabrics, stands in the middle of this beautiful room only highlighted by its marvellous high ceiling. This room also enjoys magnificent views of the cobbled courtyard to the River Leith.
