While on a recent visit to Edinburgh, I spent some time at the new Hotel Di Vin property in the city. The hotel has been open just over a year and is very stylishly decorated. It has the feel of a small hotel and I was surprised that they have 47 rooms as you would not have thought so from looking at the outside.
The hotel is a short walk from the city centre and just up the road from the Museum of Scotland. Entry is via a courtyard that will be excellent in the summer and which also offers a cigar bothy – something I have never seen before but I imagine is very popular with cigar aficionados (especially in the winter).

Veteran golf writer and photographer George Fuller visited Scotland for twelve nights in July 2009 on assignment for Virtuoso Life Magazine. This story of his journey, which began in St Andrews and concluded in Turnberry by way of the Scottish Highlands, was published in the January / February 2010 issue.

Edinburgh is a city that should be on your list of places to visit while in Scotland; a great place full of charm and fascinating history. On a recent visit there, I stayed at the Sheraton Grand Hotel – the hotel is in an excellent location, only a short walk from the restaurants, bars, shops and the sights.

As a property we use frequently for clients wishing to stay in a city location without substituting luxury, we are looking forward to witnessing the “new-look” Sheraton Grand after the refurbishment.
Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh
After a visit from Gayle Harthill, the Sheraton Grand’s Account Director, we were able to gain insight into the hotel’s forthcoming plans. All 260 rooms are going to receive a complete over-haul and the hotel will actually acquire 8 new rooms as well as 7 different categories of rooms (not sacrificing the option of the popular views of Edinburgh Castle of course!) The transformation will see soft, natural colours and fabrics being implemented into the rooms providing a warm and convivial setting in which to relax and revivify; their aim is to combine a traditional Scottish feel while maintaining the contemporary features which are standard in the rooms.
