The Witchery by the Castle consists of eight suites, each uniquely decorated with its own charm and character. All suites are cosy and decadent, decorated in rich colours, heavy fabrics and quirky antique details. Owner James Thompson collects vintage uniforms and ancient tapestries, and the hotel is jam-packed with little details to capture your attention and your imagination. The Witchery caters to a niche audience, and a stay at the hotel is very much an experience. The Inner Sanctum, with its gothic spin on Scottish romanticism, was Thompson's first invention. A lavishly-draped four poster stands amongst antique busts and portraits, separated from the enormous fireplace by iron grates. The Library enjoys views over Edinburgh's famed Royal Mile. The large room has a magnificent book-clad bathroom through a secret door, and other nice touches include the old theatre seats, stage curtains and of course the impressive antique book collection. The Witchery is all about design and atmosphere, and what modern technology there is, is hidden away in secret contraptions.
