Book Edinburgh hotels for the city’s top 2012 festivals

Hotel Direct offer a wide range of hotels in Edinburgh that will make ideal accommodation if you are heading to any of the 2012 Edinburgh festivals.

Whilst most eyes will be focussed on the Olympic Games in London, there will still be an amazing range of festivals occurring in the Scottish capital over the summer.

Around 4 million people are expected to see 40,000 performances across 300 venues in the city. This summer will see 8 festivals take residence in Edinburgh, including the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the ever popular Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe attracts a mixture of the top comedians from the UK and around the world, and young up and comers who want to test out their latest shows. Al Murray, Andi Osho, Andy Parsons and Ed Byrne are amongst the top stars lined up for 2012.

The Edinburgh International Festival will see TR Warszawa’s ‘Macbeth’, Dmitry Krymov’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream (As you like it)’ and NVS’s ‘Speed of Light’.

All the festivals are still a while off and events and performers are being announced as the dates get closer.

From cheap hotels to get your head down after a night of comedy, to luxury options if you are treating a loved one to a night of jazz or blues, Hotel Direct offer a wide range of hotel deals in a number of great locations, including London, Dublin and Paris.
