"The perfect lust-den! " Dannii Minogue, Cosmopolitan
The Witchery's spectacular and indulgent suites are perfect for those looking for a stay in the most theatrical and magical of settings. Hidden in an historic building on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, Cosmopolitan described them as one of the seven wonders of the hotel world and they frequently feature among lists of the world's most wonderful places to stay. The Witchery's latest & 8th suite, the Heriot, has just openened inspired by the nearby George Heriot's School, thought to be JK Rowling's inspiration for Hogwarts.
Each of eight lavishly decorated, theatrical and antique-filled suite features Bose sound systems, CDs, videos and books as well as cable television, direct dial telephones and mood enhancing lighting. A continental breakfast, chocolates, mineral water, newspapers and a complimentary bottle of champagne are included within the room rate (from £295 per suite per night).
The suites are available for guests to arrive from 3pm and you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast before departure at noon. Lunches and dinners can be reserved in either the Witchery, Secret Garden or nearby rooftop Tower Restaurants, or at Rhubarb - The restaurant at Prestonfield.
