The Minto Hotel

Description:

• Location. The Minto Hotel is located in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the genteel suburb of Newington, in the lee of Arthur's Seat and one mile south of Princes street and Edinburgh city centre.

  Open daily for lunch and dinner, The Minto Hotel's restaurant serves classic dishes with a modern twist in an intimate atmosphere created with low lighting and music. The Polo Lounge is decorated in soft creams and browns and features mood lighting and a large outside terrace. It serves modern bar lunches and suppers and has a well- stocked bar and wide-screen television for sporting events. The hotel offers a complimentary full-English breakfast.

  Expert Tip. Newington started life as an Edinburgh suburb built to house the burgeoning nouveaux riche of the early 1800s. There are lots of Georgian townhouses that were originally home to lawyers, bankers and merchants, but it's now a lively, student area with lots of pubs and restaurants. Places worth a visit include the Jewish Cemetery at Sciennes House Place.;;
