Prestonfield House Edinburgh

A seventeenth-century manor house set within twenty acres of Edinburgh parkland, Prestonfield House operates at the far end of the city's luxury hotel spectrum: all brocade, antique furniture, and Venetian glass bathrooms, with peacocks on the grounds and a welcome bottle of champagne waiting in the room. Scored 95.5 points on the La Liste Top Hotels 2026 ranking, it sits firmly in the capital's small cohort of genuinely historic properties.
