A quick note for Edinburgh visitors that the Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor is leaving the chain tomorrow.
It isn’t clear which brand, if any, it will be adopting.
If you have any stays booked here you may wish to change them, especially if you were expecting elite status benefits or points earning.
There are various other options in Edinburgh city centre, including the Waldorf Astoria The Caledonian (where I spent a couple of nights recently, although I didn’t review it), Hilton Edinburgh Carlton, DoubleTree Edinburgh City Centre and Hampton Edinburgh West End.
The hotel website is here – for another 24 hours – if you want to find out more.
