"This modern, yet unpretentious hotel is similar in quality to the Carlton and bears an equally precious downtown locale although without the views of the castle-facing rooms in the Apex International."

"the Macdonald has always had a business feel. ... It's the exclusive Club Floor, with its upgraded rooms and views of Holyrood Park, that's the stand-out feature."

"Each of them is dark, theatrically gothic and lavishly furnished with antiques, leather and velvet, Victorian baths and grand beds, complementing the magical atmosphere at the Witchery dining rooms."

"Essentially a restaurant ... with some suites attached, there are few communal spaces -- the hotel is a favorite among those seeking seclusion."
