The Glasshouse, Autograph Collection

You'll find yourself stepping into something genuinely special when you arrive at Greenside Place. This isn't your typical business hotel—it's housed in a restored Victorian glasshouse (hence the name), and that heritage actually matters here. The building's got real bones, all exposed stonework and original features that've been thoughtfully preserved rather than sanitised. It's the kind of place where you can feel Edinburgh's creative history; you're basically staying in the city's artistic past, repurposed for the present. The location's brilliant too—perched above Broughton Street's independent shops and restaurants, with views toward Calton Hill. If you're after somewhere stylish but with soul, rather than another chain hotel, this delivers.
