Overview
Edinburgh is one of Europe's most visually dramatic cities, where a 12th-century castle tops a volcanic ridge dividing the ancient Old Town from Georgian New Town. The Royal Mile, Arthur's Seat, and August's Fringe Festival define the city's energy.
The InterContinental Edinburgh The George is a landmark IHG redemption. Marriott Bonvoy's W Edinburgh on St. Andrew Square is one of the most design-forward properties in the UK.
During August's Fringe Festival, hotel prices reach European capital levels — making points redemptions during this period exceptionally high-value. Scotland's unique cultural identity gives Edinburgh a distinctiveness larger British cities can't match.
