The most significant architectural challenge to face is to fit in a modern building in an old town protected by the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The globally renowned architects JMARCHITECTS and famous design studio FG Stijl squared up. They did a remarkable job filling in a gap in the historical quarter while respecting its antique environment. The perky silhouette of the roof follows the same pattern as the neighboring buildings. Even the sliding oak shutters pay tribute to the original window fixtures of the historic Auld Toun (Old Town in Scots).

Inside Market Street Hotel, you'll find a sleek contemporary interior dominated by white oak and pale stone. The modern-day "fortress" rooms and suites please travelers seeking anything from a budget-friendly, cozy and compact space to one with excellent views or the top luxury with a self-standing bathtub.

The excellent location comes with another benefit, and that's the view from the rooftop. The 7th floor, Nor' Loft Champagne lounge, is a heavenly place with a likable approach to consuming sparkling wine. They say you don't need to have a special occasion to have a glass of Champagne. How could I disagree with that?
