“The Parliament House Hotel, a brief walk from Edinburgh Waverley, strikes me as a rare find in a popular city. Its Jacobean and Georgian architecture gives it a distinctive character, enhanced by a cozy whisky bar. I think that travelers will find comfort in its blend of vintage charm and modern convenience.”
