The Benjamin Franklin Suite

At Prestonfield House in Edinburgh, The Benjamin Franklin Suite belongs to a former manor house set within green parkland. Its name refers to Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding figures of the United States, who stayed here in the 18th century. That detail gives the suite a rare connection to the history of the house itself.

The setting of Prestonfield House deepens that sense of place. This is a historic building, with the character of an old residence and the polish of a five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel. The Benjamin Franklin Suite therefore speaks as much about the property as it does about the guest who inspired its name. In Edinburgh, it offers a direct way to stay within a house marked by memory, in a peaceful setting away from the city’s pace. It suits travellers who value rooms tied to a specific story, not simply a decorative theme.
