Below, Hotels.tv in Edinburgh make their accommodation Predictions and Recommendations for 2012.

· Staycations Are On The Up. Scotland is the number 2 destination for UK’s "staycationers" (people staying in the UK for their vacation). Edinburgh has always been a family-friendly destination and even more families visiting the city will be looking for family-sized rooms.

· Look To The East. Check out the accommodation in the East End of Edinburgh. Some cool new hotels and apartments are opening on York Place. Plus, this location is ideal for the new National Portrait Gallery, Broughton Street (recently chosen as the UK's hippest street), the ever-entertaining Playhouse Theatre, the views from Calton Hill, international cuisines, and much more.

· Corporate Belt Buckling. As companies further tighten accommodation budgets there will be a greater demand for standard single-occupancy budget bedrooms in Edinburgh throughout 2012.

· Panda-monium. Hotels in the west of Edinburgh will benefit from the Giant Pandas arriving at Edinburgh Zoo. There are some great hotels nearby Edinburgh Zoo but don’t forget to check out the unique and friendly guest houses only a lion’s roar away. Tip: If coming to visit the Giant Pandas make sure tickets are booked online before arriving at the Zoo.

· Go In Groups. UK based visitors are increasingly clubbing together and benefiting some huge discounts on accommodation. Edinburgh hotels need to be able to provide triple, quad and plus-sized rooms in 2012.
