The Glasshouse

Its premises may have a retained Victorian facade but the Glasshouse actually forms part of the Omni Centre building, a massive entertainment complex dating to the early noughties. Once inside however, you simply wouldn't know. Currently one of Marriott's Autograph Collection brand of lifestyle hotels, rooms are modern and attractive – redesigned in 2013 – some with city-view balconies, others around a roof terrace lawn looking up to Calton Hill.
