Birthday.
I booked the signature suite (Thierry Lombard) for my Wife’s birthday. It was fantastic. Loads of room and all the things you need for a stylish comfortable stay. The staff were great. We’ve stayed in Edinburgh many times and this is up with the best!

The staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful! The room was clean and comfortable. Only thing to be warned of is that the elevators are small so if you have a lot of luggage you might have to make 2 trips!

The Hotel du Vin and Bistro seems to be one of the nicest hotels in Old Edinburgh, close to all of the main tourist attractions. I loved the L'Occitane products in the bathroom. The service was a little lacking, but I would stay there again.
