Luxury Holidays At The Balmoral

The Balmoral translates to 'Majestic Dwelling' in Gaelic – an apt description of this truly legendary luxury hotel in Edinburgh. Originally opened in 1902, the hotel is a landmark of the city, and continues to inspire guests through its careful blend of Scotch tradition and modern luxury living. Rooms and suites have been carefully designed by Rocco Forte Hotels’ Director of Design Olga Polizzi, with bespoke tartan, heather hues and classic Scottish artwork adoring the hotel. Savour Michelin-starred dining or fabulous French-Scottish cuisine, before selecting from over 500 malts in the dedicated whisky bar. Discover the serenity of the urban spa, enjoy award-winning afternoon tea or – thanks to the hotel’s enviable location on prestigious Princes Street - head out to discover the delights of Edinburgh.
