The Roxburghe Hotel is one of Edinburgh's finest and most elegant hotels. Re-opened in 2000 after a £12 million development, the hotel now offers a high level of comfort at one of the most fashionable addresses in Edinburgh. Charlotte Square was part of the original "New Town" Georgian development dating from the late 18th century, designed by architect Robert Adam, with the Roxburghe Hotel demonstrating the beauty of the original design.

As well as having one of the most prestigious and most convenient locations in Edinburgh, the Roxburghe Hotel offers the very best in comfort. Guests can enjoy spacious bedrooms with excellent facilities, public areas that include a new leisure centre - the perfect place to clear the mind and energise the spirit. The standard of cuisine in the hotel restaurant is very high, based on the very best the Scottish larder has to offer.

Overlooking Charlotte Square, the classic rooms retain fine period detail, such as intricate cornicing, inlaid marble fireplaces and rich swathes of dark wood. Move seamlessly into the modern wing and you'll find contemporary rooms with an open aspect across the handsome boulevard that is George Street or, from the south-facing rooms on the top floor, startling views across the rooftops to Edinburgh Castle. Each room comes equipped with a good sized working area and modern communication facilities, including a second phone point and personal voice mail. And, with sumptuous soft furnishings, chrome fittings in the bathrooms, satellite TV and 24 hour room service, this is a room which you may have difficulty leaving behind.

The Melrose Restaurant (AA Rosette) is open for lunch and dinner. The award-winning chefs offer dish after dish of tempting fare, with:

• a classically Scottish style of cooking
• Scottish specialities prepared from the best of national produce
• wide choice of international cuisine
• wines handpicked from the vineyards of both the old and the new world
• provision for special dietary needs
