Festival Accommodation & City Breaks
Paradise Penthouse is the ideal location for accommodation when visiting Edinburgh for the Festival during August or for any of the many wonderful shows and sporting events throughout the year. The Royal Mile is right at the centre of events for the Festival and the Penthouse is just minutes from Edinburgh Castle, venue for the Military Tattoo. The Hogmanay street party takes place in Princes Street Gardens, also just a short walk away. As one of only a small number of five star apartments in the heart of the City, Paradise Penthouse gets booked up well in advance, so here is a list of major (and some not so major!) events throughout 2009, so you can plan your visit NOW!
