Steeped in history, folklore and warm hospitality, the Scottish capital oozes charisma and a post-wedding stay here will add the final flourish to your special day. Nira Caledonia, tucked away amongst the striking neo-classical architecture and cobbled streets of New Town, offers sophisticated seclusion and a plush setting for some downtime after the wedding. The boutique property marries five-star luxury with the intimacy of a townhouse and is in easy reach of the airport and Waverley train station. Standing guard over the historic city, the rugged peak of Arthur’s Seat in Holyrood Park is the perfect place to soak up the raw, majestic beauty of Edinburgh and glimpse the sparkling waters of the Firth of Forth. There are plenty of pleasures to enjoy at Nira Caledonia, however. Each of the 28 rooms feature high ceilings, dado rails and Georgian sash windows and are furnished with ornate gold mirrors and modish armchairs – blending Bohemian chic with contemporary comfort. Some suites offer private garden terraces, with views over the Botanical Gardens and in-room Jacuzzis. Prevalent tones of gold and black give this boutique hotel an air of quiet intimacy, while glass chandeliers and chrome hurricane lamps create subtle theatre. Enjoy fresh and organic dishes in the hotel’s Blackwood’s Bar and Grill. Where possible ingredients are farmed, caught, raised or bred in Scotland. Think mouth-watering beef raised in a sustainable manner, rare-breed pork and lamb organically farmed in the Scottish borders and fish caught from the bountiful waters of the North Sea. With over 25 Scotch whisky blends and single malts, Nira Caledonia’s bar also focuses on local flavours, and is the perfect cosy nook to toast your recent nuptials.• NIRA CALEDONIA10 Gloucester PlEdinburgh, City of EdinburghScotlandniracaledonia.cominfo@niracaledonia.com0131 225 2720
