Built in 1879, this is now a privately owned hotel (and until recently Simpsons Hotel) was once the original Memorial Hospital dedicated to Sir James Young Simpson, discoverer of Chloroform. Just the location for your Edinburgh City Break this splendid building has been restored and transformed into a modern Edinburgh hotel with 52 spacious, tastefully furnished bedrooms.
