Spotlight on… THE GLAMIS SUITE

Named after Scotland’s most beautiful castle and the childhood home of The Queen Mother, the Glamis Suite evokes the majesty of its namesake in every carefully chosen design detail.

Designed by Olga Polizzi, Rocco Forte Hotels’ Director of Building & Design, and sister to Sir Rocco Forte, this royal suite is one of the city’s most impressive spaces. Large windows cast natural light upon the spacious salon, with its magnificent velvet sofas, tasteful antiques and original fireplace, and the sophisticated dining room, with its Scottish baronial furniture and antique chandelier, provides an elegant area for entertaining.

A lush colour palette of emerald and amethyst sets the tone for a scheme in which rich fabrics meet antiques selected personally by Olga Polizzi from her travels throughout Europe. Historic period features including ornate cornicing are complemented by exquisite drapes and hand-picked collections of books and records make this spacious haven homely.

The showpiece Shinola record player and vinyl collection is a nod to the Rock ‘n Roll greats who frequent the hotel. Available for guests to enjoy, the record menu offers an ever-growing collection tailored to guests’ music tastes.

Baile Mhoireil is best served with tonic, dried grapefruit, a sprig of rosemary and a spritz of lemon verbena.
