Royal Mile Hotels
The Royal Mile is surrounded on all sides by the medieval Old Town of Edinburgh. At the top of the Royal Mile sits Edinburgh Castle, perched guard-like on its rock. Along its flanks lie a warren of medieval alleys and closes, soaked in the mist of ancient history. In short, the Royal Mile acts as an ancient backbone to the most historic parts of Edinburgh.
The Royal Mile is Edinburgh's oldest street, linking Edinburgh Castle with the Palace of Holyrood. It was described by Daniel Defoe as the "largest, longest and finest street in the world." Many an Edinburgh resident would doubtless agree that it is the city's most interesting and varied street - a superb location for a hotel stay in Scotland's capital.
