Ten Hill Place Hotel Edinburgh, Scotland

A colourful, central stay owned by The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, with prized dining - breakfast and dinner allowance included

Ten Hill Place Hotel is a city-centre gem that’s owned by The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh - one of the world's oldest medical training bodies. The stylish result of a Georgian building (previously the Postgraduate Residence of the College) with a sympathetic addition, it opened as a hotel in 2006 - with all profits going back into training surgeons worldwide.

At this TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence-awarded hotel, all guest rooms are done out rather beautifully. There’s statement-making green, purple and gold striped colour schemes and beds with six pillows, hypoallergenic duvets and a choice of mattress. No. Ten Restaurant, awarded its first AA Rosette for culinary excellence, pulls focus on modern Scottish cuisine created with simple and locally sourced ingredients

Once you’ve worked your way through the creative a la carte menu, head to the stylish 10 Wine Bar in the foyer to sample delicious desserts, a rich champagne list, and a selection of smart labels supplied by Corney & Barrow - the independent wine merchants who famously hold two Royal Warrants.
