Rocco Forte The Balmoral Hotel

Rocco Forte Hotels’ Balmoral is a luxury hotel in the true sense of the word. With its majestic clock tower, the hotel is a unique and contemporary luxury five-star property in the very heart of Edinburgh. While many Edinburgh hotels claim to have Edinburgh’s landmarks on their doorstep, few can say their doorstep is a landmark. Located on Princes Street, in Edinburgh’s main shopping area and next to Waverley Station, The Balmoral is close to the leading luxury department stores and within walking distance of many Edinburgh attractions. The Balmoral’s ten conference and banqueting suites all enjoy natural daylight and can accommodate a wide range of events including: business conferences, intimate dinner parties, large receptions and weddings. The Balmoral was named as the top Scottish hotel in the Telegraph Travel Awards 2012 and as the Top UK Business Hotel outside of London at the Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Travel Awards 2012.

Location

Edinburgh International Airport is just 25 minutes by car from the hotel, and its convenient location makes The Balmoral the ideal luxury hotel in Edinburgh for business or leisure, including the famous Edinburgh Festival and Hogmanay. There are also convenient transport links also from Glasgow or Prestwick Airports.

Rooms

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.

Cuisine

The number one has established a reputation for world class cuisine, retaining its Michelin star for the tenth consecutive year in 2012. Executive Chef Jeff Bland and his team provide outstanding creative dishes using only the finest and freshest Scottish produce. Hadrian’s is the Balmoral’s chic and stylish Brasserie which serves delicious cuisine in an informal ambience. The cuisine has a strong international influence with a classic Scottish twist.
