Despite its bijou size, Scotland is a country of epic proportions. From the Highlands’ vast tracts of untamed wilderness – some of the largest in Western Europe – that teems with rare flora and fauna, to the astounding cultural riches of Edinburgh, Scotland offers endless adventure. A trio of beguiling accommodations, each part of WorldHotels^TM’ curated collection of independent hostelries, offer beautiful home bases from which to experience this land of plenty.

Edinburgh, the charismatic capital, is the perfect starting point for a whirlwind Scottish adventure. Through a maze of townhouse-lined cobbled streets and lamplit alleys anchored by towering spires and the rocky hillsides that flank the shores of the Firth of Forth, enchantments abound at every turn. The so-called Royal Mile forms the city’s beating heart, connecting the resplendent Palace of Holyroodhouse – the royal family’s official Scotland residence – and Edinburgh Castle, a jaw-dropping estate dating back to the 12th century.

Where to Stay: Bruntsfield Hotel

Hang your hat at the Bruntsfield Hotel, member of WorldHotels Elite collection, housed in a stately Victorian townhouse within walking distance of the Royal Mile. Set in the eponymous district filled with charming boutiques and cafes, the hotel overlooks the verdant Bruntsfield Links Park. Cosy, contemporary rooms delightfully accented with local flair offer pitch-perfect home-from-homes while the convivial Neighbourhood restaurant, serving stellar comfort fare made with locally sourced ingredients, is a great place to both start and end the day.

Postcard from Inverness

A scenic three-hour drive takes you to Inverness, which offers a wonderful juxtaposition to the exhilarating pace of the capital. Cradled against the River Ness – and a stone’s throw from Loch Ness and, if legend is to be believed, its elusive monster – the pretty town is a fantastic base for adventures in the Highlands. 

Where to Stay: Kingsmills Hotel

Check into Kingsmills Hotel, member of WorldHotels Elite collection, set in a stunning 18th-century heritage edifice. Here, indulgence is writ: when not exploring the natural wonders just outside its doors – or golfing the world-class links nearby – guests are invited to luxuriate at the house spa or the garden-facing Conservatory Restaurant, which boasts a deliciously eclectic menu of Scottish and international delicacies.

Where to Stay: Ness Walk

A likewise enchanting Inverness bolthole and member of WorldHotels Luxury collection is Ness Walk, a rarified hideaway surrounded by greenery and in easy range from globally renowned golf courses like Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart and Nairn. Guests residing in the lovingly restored 19th-century estate overnight in luxuriously appointed bedrooms and can enjoy a dinner of standout local fare – a treat best enjoyed after a day exploring the area, whether spent on a Moray Firth cruise to witness dolphins, otters and seals in their natural habitat, or on an eye-opening walk through the spectacular medieval ruins of Urquart Castle.
