Nine gothic suites for two above The Witchery restaurant, on Castlehill, next to the castle. Four-poster beds and champagne if you book direct.

Nine suites above a candlelit restaurant
Above the dining rooms of The Witchery, in the 16th-century houses of Castlehill, there are nine suites, each with its own name and décor. All are designed for two adults, with a king-size bed, and all follow the same idea: velvet, tapestries, dark wood, four-poster beds and freestanding baths, sometimes for two. It's the place for an anniversary, a honeymoon or a night you want to remember, a few steps from the castle esplanade.
Choosing a suite
Size and views vary. The Old Rectory is the largest, with seven windows onto the Royal Mile. The Vestry is reached by a stone spiral staircase and has three windows over the street. The Library hides a secret door in a book-lined bathroom. The Heriot looks out over the Old Town towards George Heriot's School, the turreted school that, according to the hotel itself, is believed to have inspired Hogwarts: it's the suite for a couple of Harry Potter fans. The others are The Sempill, The Inner Sanctum, The Guardroom, The Armoury and The Turret.
Breakfast, bookings and what there isn't
Breakfast is for residents only and you can have it in the Original Dining Room or ask for it to be brought up to your suite in a hamper. If you book on their website, there's a bottle of champagne in the room every night. Children are admitted from age 10 sharing a suite with an adult, but there are no extra beds, so it isn't family accommodation. Dogs aren't allowed, the building isn't adapted and there's no parking; the nearest is the NCP on Castle Terrace. If you want to dine downstairs, book a table too: the restaurant recommends doing so well in advance.

That way you get the bottle of champagne each night.
