Channings Hotel
Channings Hotel occupies five Victorian townhouses in a peaceful residential area just ten minutes’ walk from the bustling city centre of Edinburgh. Channings is an informal, relaxed hotel with a very friendly approach. It's a wonderfully quirky property, which feels like a Scottish Country Home, full of charming Victorian paintings, prints, books, furniture and memorabilia. One of the Channings' Townhouses, 14 South Learmonth Gardens, was home to Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic explorer, while he was secretary of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society between 1904 and 1910. The hotel has named its top-floor suites after Shackleton and his fellow adventurers, and are proud to display prints of black-and-white photographs that were taken on the expeditions, as well as a copy of an historic journey planner. Channings offers free Wi-Fi internet access throughout the hotel.
