About Balmoral Hotel

A welcome in bespoke Balmoral tartan; Hebridean blues, heather hues and classic Scottish art; whisky ambassadors with 500 malts—the Balmoral Hotel is a love letter to Scotland. Savor Michelin-starred dining, French-Scottish bistro fare, award-winning afternoon tea and a serene urban spa at the city’s most majestic spot. The Balmoral is the place where Old Town meets new, a legendary hotel and landmark clock tower: a symbol of its city. The perfect marriage of tradition and modernity, the hotel's 167 rooms and 20 suites offer an invitation to experience and enjoy Scottish heritage. Many of the rooms add to the sublime sense of place with views out over Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat and the Old Town.

Wellness

What We Love

The Balmoral's tranquil spa is an urban oasis, offering pure bliss while blending modern facilities with exceptional service. Here, muscle soreness and joint stiffness get relief, as well as an enhancement of your immune system through lymph detoxification and blood circulation. The sauna and steam room positively influences your mind and body and gently cleanses and rejuvenates your skin while the indoor pool is perfect for swimming laps.

For an additional fee, hotel experiences include an afternoon tea masterclass that promises to unlock the history of a very British ritual, gin and whisky tasting excursions, and a round of golf within the grounds of Balmoral Castle. The hotel boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant, a signature whisky bar, and an Edinburgh institution for a taste of modern Scottish Afternoon Tea. Enjoy pre-dinner aperitifs, sit in the cozy library by the fire for an after-dinner drink or sample cocktails at the long, marble bar counter for a fun evening.
