My sister and I were lucky enough to take a short trip to Edinburgh a few weeks back, made all the more exciting when we discovered our home for the weekend was to be Hotel Missoni, just off the Royal Mile. As soon as we jumped in our taxi at Waverley station, our taxi driver was regaling us
with tales of the doormen, who wear specially designed Missoni kilts. Lo and behold the legendary door men were there to take our bags as we arrived.

It’s always difficult when you have such high expectations for something, but Hotel Missoni did not disappoint on a single aspect. As expected the décor was a lesson in Missoni’s signature style from the carpets and bedspreads, right down to the note book beside the telephone. Bright colours and the classic Missoni stripes permeated every part of the hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly, especially the kind lady who came to do our turn down service who left us little chocolates to have before bed. The drinks in the mini bar and the movies on the television were all free. It may not sound like a big deal, but there’s nothing worse than being stuck in a hotel room and not having anything to watch. Not that being stuck in a Missoni hotel room is any great trial!
The hotel is centrally located, so there are restaurants, shops, galleries and museums right on the door step. I couldn’t recommend it more, so if you’re planning a trip to Edinburgh give our regards to the doormen!
