Situated just outside the city centre but with none of the hecticness usually associated with a central location, Portobello has a hip, laid-back vibe. A canal runs steadily alongside the neighbourhood and the quaint streets are dotted with boutique stores, bakeries, art galleries, coffee shops and trendy restaurants. During the summer months you're likely to find hipster crowds milling by the water, nursing a beer, while on the weekend's there a flea market to peruse. The best hotels in Portobello are intimate and friendly, a reflection of the area.
