According to VisitScotland, the Scottish capital spoils visitors for choice with its many museums and other attractions.
Regional director for Edinburgh and east central Scotland Sinead Feltoe explained that the city enjoyed a prosperous last 12 months.
"Edinburgh Castle, the Scotch Whisky Experience and Camera Obsura all recorded exceptional years," she said.
Her statement is backed up by PKF figures which show that Edinburgh was the only city in Scotland to record positive occupancy rates for 2009.
