Thankful to arrive mid-afternoon, if only to fully benefit from wonderful daylight views direct onto Edinburgh Castle, I was afforded valuable time to enjoy the suite’s plentiful luxuries, before my foray’s out for the evening in a city I am proud to call a second home. The Sheraton, Edinburgh has managed to achieve a unique type of luxury with a recent full refurbishment; bright, modern rooms, local art, contemporary furnishings, mood lighting and cutting edge technology do not detract from the established history of the hotel but add another dimension; making The Sheraton Edinburgh, the perfect solution for leisure or business travellers to the city.
Glass bathroom pods, considered use of storage and reflective surfaces, coupled with sheer expanse and intelligent design features, create a flow through each room and an exceptional, cleverly fashioned space.
Thoroughly luxurious Club Rooms and Suites at The Sheraton offer even larger spaces with exclusive use of the Club Lounge, where guests can enjoy private breakfast, drinks and canapés and the opportunity to socialise over pre-dinner cocktails. Guests residing in these rooms on the upper floors, are also offered access to The Sheraton Edinburgh’s dedicated Spa facility; Escape at One Spa; for the duration of the stay, including the coveted rooftop Thermal Suite and hydropool.
The Sheraton’s Grand Suites present the ultimate in luxury and comfort for families visiting the city with a stately setting at the top of the hotel. Two palatial bedrooms, coupled with expansive living quarters, spacious, walk-in wardrobes and rainforest showers, extend to guests, an opulent apartment within the hotel.

Not wishing to preach to the converted, as there are those, well travelled individuals who hunt out The Sheraton wherever their travels take them, as you would a special friend. There is also however a desirability factor about The Sheraton and that must be attributed to an established history of exceptional levels of comfort and service – a knowledge that expectations shall be exceeded and a few surprises shall be waiting along the way.
