Tigerlily

Tigerlily is a fashionable boutique hotel at 125 George Street, in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, Scotland. George Street connects Charlotte Square and St Andrew Square and is lined with shops, bars and restaurants, so the hotel sits in the centre of the city's social scene. Princes Street, the tram at St Andrew Square and Waverley station are each about ten minutes on foot or less, and the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle can be reached on a short walk across the Mound. The hotel occupies a Georgian terrace property on one of the New Town's main streets, and the interiors contrast with the formal exterior through dramatic lighting, mirrors, bold patterns and a glamorous, nightlife-oriented design. Bedrooms are decorated in a similarly stylish way, with comfortable beds, modern bathrooms and in-room amenities that suit short city breaks. Room categories vary in size, and larger rooms are available for those who want more space. The hotel is closely associated with its lively bar and restaurant, which serve cocktails and modern dishes, and it also has a rooftop terrace that is popular in summer. A gym is available for guests, though there is no pool or spa. Breakfast is served in the restaurant and includes cooked options. Service is energetic and informal, and the atmosphere is busier than at a traditional quiet hotel, so noise from the bar and George Street can be noticeable on weekend nights. Tigerlily suits couples, groups of friends and visitors who want to be close to dining and nightlife. Rates fall in the middle to upper boutique range, and they increase during the August festivals, Hogmanay and on busy weekends throughout the year.
