Location : Located
at the most prestigious address in Edinburgh, the five-star Balmoral
Hotel combines the noble character of a Scottish baronial home
and the classic sophistication of an international hotel. SHOW MAP
Conveniently located in the heart of the city, close to the shops
and next to the central railway station, The Balmoral is only
20 minutes by car from Edinburgh Airport, making it the ideal
accommodation from which to enjoy the many events held in Edinburgh,
including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, or simply to relax and
unwind.
Accommodation : All 168 rooms and 20 suites combine contemporary elegance with The Balmoral's strong sense of history and charm. Each bedroom has its own characteristics borrowed from our Scottish heritage, which offers a true refuge in which to relax or escape.
The striped carpets and paint colours in the bedrooms have the earthy colours of the moors, mists and heathers that one associates with Scotland. Natural fabrics were used throughout: linens, silks, wools and leather and introduced on headboards, valances and comfortable armchairs. The artwork has been selected to reflect Scottish themes and includes artists such as Donald Campbell and his Bluebird, the Skerrymore Lighthouse and a Circular Tour of the Highlands by Richard Long. The blankets, on the end of every bed, are exclusively designed for The Balmoral by Johnston's of Elgin.
Restaurant : For an outstanding culinary experience, Michelin-starred number one is recognised as one of Scotland's best restaurants, with Chef Jeff Bland providing outstanding cuisine. He places emphasis on creative dishes whilst promoting the best of Scotland by using only the finest and freshest Scottish ingredients.
Number one was awarded a Scottish Thistle Award within the Flavour of Scotland category in October 2005. It was number one's dedication to immaculate service and outstanding cuisine that gave the culinary landmark its winning edge. Jeff Bland, The Balmoral's Michelin-starred Chef was also applauded for his exquisite craftsmanship and subtle and innovative menus.
Health & Leisure : The
Balmoral Spa boasts the largest city centre hotel swimming pool
in Edinburgh, a fully-equipped gym for both aerobic exercise and
weight training, a steam room and sauna, and a wide array of beauty
therapy treatments. A perfect place to retreat from the rigours
of everyday life.
2001 saw the refurbishment of the gymnasium and the addition of
a new Aerobics Studio, as well as 5 additional treatment rooms.
Anyone who enjoys a Reiki treatment can now enjoy this treatment
along with a number of other services more often than ever!
For
those who would just rather relax by the pool side, the Spa also
has a Juice Bar which provides a wide selection of fruit smoothies
and healthy snacks to enjoy.
Conference : We
have ten function suites which benefit from natural light and
can accommodate private dinner parties, business meetings, conferences
and receptions for up to 400. All are equipped with the latest
audio-visual technology and can be laid out whichever way suits
you best. Many of the rooms have stunning views of Edinburgh castle
and the surrounding hills and so provide an inspirational setting
for your event.
