My husband and I will be visiting Edinburgh. We are looking at hotels and considering the Market Hotel or the Hilton Carlton.
Can someone please share recommendations.
Thank you

When will you be there?
End of September.
Have a look here , I've booked it for this coming October . Among other reasons , I particularly liked the location , and certain amenities - https://www.google.com/maps/place/InterContinental+Edinburgh+the+George,+an+IHG+Hotel/@55.9533998,-3.1957417,16.75z/data=!3m1!5s0x4887c78f8da0f7af:0x4a22bdb3a67e7401!4m20!1m10!3m9!1s0x4887c7d62e6a3973:0xa130c4eea7235b6!2sMarket+Street+hotel!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d55.9509926!4d-3.1897586!16s%2Fg%2F11gy7wzcv2!3m8!1s0x4887c791a7105061:0xd3e90f4d8a1db06d!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d55.9539457!4d-3.1963705!16s%2Fm%2F0809sjm?entry=ttu
We stayed at Le Monde Hotel, just across the street from the Intercontinental which someone else mentioned (a little cheaper too). Very nice place, we were happy we stayed there.
Take a look at this recent trip report. She stayed at Market Street hotel. https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/trip-reports/solo-in-the-uk-my-york-and-edinburgh-trip-report
steven and Steve and LaurieDi, that area is wonderful around St. Andrew Square! I loved New Town, and staying right off the square is really nice. My hotel was about a block or so away but I was in that area a lot and highly recommend it. It has a more residential feel to it than the Old Town of Edinburgh and not nearly as many tourists. Lots of locals walking around and eating in the square. I also loved walking down George St - I had a wonderful walk one evening around 10 pm, and there were still lots of people out walking and going to dinner and so on.
An area of Edinburgh that I've missed on previous visits , but will be certain to see this time around - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Village Be sure to blow up the photos for a really good view !
Thank you for the great suggestions! I definitely want to see Dean Village!
