Bonham Hotel
The Bonham Hotel is situated in Edinburgh's West End in a row of Victorian townhouse buildings originally built as private homes in the late 19th century by John Lessels. Over the years, the townhomes were transformed into a private medical clinic and then University of Edinburgh residence halls. In 1997, the Town House Company purchased the buildings, did a complete renovation and turned it into the hotel that it is today. With 48 guest rooms and suites, an on-site restaurant and a contemporary art collection spread throughout the facility, the hotel has earned a reputation for its contemporary ambiance in a historical setting. All rooms have private bathrooms, free Internet access, television, 24-hour room service, mini-bar, tea and coffeemakers and ironing facilities.
