The Curator's Hideaway

Directly across from the National Museum of Scotland, this swish little apartment puts you in Edinburgh’s beguiling Old Town. Once you’ve explored the collections of the museum on your doorstep, head to the Royal Mile which is a five-minute walk away and connects Edinburgh Castle with Holyrood Palace. There are loads of restaurants, pubs and whisky bars in the area to explore.

This bijou apartment is a soothing medley of Scandi-chic interiors and old sash windows. Modern artworks pop against dove-grey walls and the kitchen has everything you need to knock up a quick meal. Big windows show off the regal exterior of the museum across the road and let plenty of natural light stream in.
