“The Scholar distinguishes itself with a unique setting on the University of Edinburgh campus, blending modern luxury within a historic estate, with renovated facilities that maintain a family-friendly atmosphere alongside spots like the Brasserie restaurant. Its location means you're a walk away from both Holyrood Park and local cafes, and it has on-site parking, which I think is a plus in a city location. I believe its combination of convenience and character should appeal to both leisure and business visitors.”
