Malmaison Edinburgh
Share
There’s only really one place to stay in Leith, and that’s The Malmaison. It’s the original hotel in a modern chain that grew under the auspice of Scottish hotelier Ken McCullough, a bright and breezy city centre affordable hotel that was a little bit naughty – Chateau Malmaison outside Paris was the home of Napoleon’s mistress. McCullough sold out some years ago but the group continues to expand.
This Edinburgh hotel's a former seaman’s mission, an echo of the old Leith, and was converted to provide a funky bar, brasserie and cool modern bedrooms. Its arrival signalled the notion that Leith was changing irreversibly, but that you don’t have to knock everything down to make way for the new. The place is still packed with cool young things, and the addition of a summer barbeque on the terrace outside provides an extra catwalk.
The bar is still shiny black surfaces, comfortable chairs and stools, with an efficient staff who handle the party atmosphere well. The best rooms have views over the water.
