The ancient Scottish capital of Edinburgh has something for every visitor, from the majestic Edinburgh Castle overlooking the city to the innovative Our Dynamic Earth science center. A weekend in Edinburgh is always a delight, so why not enjoy a couple of days of Scottish history and culture with a stay at the luxurious Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh. This exquisite hotel in the center of town is one of this week's participating Starpicks properties, with last-minute rates of at least 20% off regular rates for stays during the next two weekends, so it won't take much to have an impulsive Edinburgh experience this fall. Situated in the shadow of the castle, the Sheraton Grand is convenient to the shops of Princes Street, both the Old Town and New Town, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is the Queen's official residence in Scotland. Edinburgh is a wonderfully walkable city, but if a few trips along the Royal Mile have your dogs barking, you'll appreciate the hotel's ONE Spa, Europe's most advanced city spa. With a 19-meter ozone-friendly swimming pool, indoor and outdoor saline hydropools, and a broad range of advanced treatments, you'll be relaxed and reinvigorated in no time. When evening rolls around, enjoy a delicious meal of Scottish or Italian cuisine at the Grill Room or Santini restaurant, followed by a wee dram at the Exchange Bar. Just remember, the traditional way to drink Scotch whisky is with a splash of water, which opens up a palate of flavors that would otherwise be dulled by ice. As you swirl the golden nectar in your glass, you can plan your next great adventure. New Starpicks properties are posted every Tuesday, so check the list of participating properties and get traveling.
