Request a quoteOne of Edinburgh’s most recognizable landmarks, The Balmoral occupies a commanding position at 1 Princes Street, where its landmark clock tower has defined the city’s skyline since 1902.
Interiors designed by Olga Polizzi draw on the Scottish landscape throughout, with bespoke Balmoral tartan, Hebridean blues, and heather hues setting the tone for rooms and suites that feel distinctly and deliberately Scottish.
The dining offering spans five venues, from the 4 AA Rosette Scottish cuisine of Number One to the French-Scottish bistro fare of Brasserie Prince and the award-winning afternoon tea at Palm Court. SCOTCH, the hotel’s whisky bar, stocks over 500 Scottish malts. The Irene Forte Spa brings a wellness offering rooted in natural, Italian-made products, while the hotel’s position looking up to Edinburgh Castle places guests at the meeting point of the Old Town and New Town, as central an address as Edinburgh offers.
The Balmoral’s dining spans five venues. Number One leads with contemporary Scottish fine dining and 4 AA Rosettes, while Brasserie Prince takes a more relaxed approach, marrying classic French cuisine with Scottish produce.
Palm Court delivers an award-winning afternoon tea in one of Edinburgh’s most elegant rooms. Bar Prince offers a glamorous break from Princes Street, and SCOTCH rounds out the offering as one of Edinburgh’s largest whisky bars, with over 500 Scottish malts.
The Irene Forte Spa uses the brand’s own award-winning vegan skincare range, developed over 35 years of research, alongside advanced technologies including LYMA Laser Pro and volcanic stone therapies.
Five treatment rooms stand alongside a sauna, steam room, indoor lap pool, state-of-the-art Technogym gym, and the Forte Vita Bar, offering fast facials, hair, and nail services. Spa day packages combine use of the thermal suite and pool with treatments and afternoon tea.
The Balmoral stands at 1 Princes Street in the heart of Edinburgh, at the meeting point of the Old Town and New Town.
Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse are all within a short walk, along with the National Gallery of Scotland and the boutiques of George Street. Waverley Station is directly connected to the hotel with regular services to London and across Scotland. Edinburgh Airport is around 25 minutes by car.
The Classic Room combines comfort with style, providing a well-considered base for guests wanting a sophisticated stay in the heart of Edinburgh.
The Annan Suite offers spacious accommodation with luxurious amenities and city views, well suited to guests wanting more room to unwind during their Edinburgh stay.
The Glamis Suite offers sophisticated décor and city views, with a lounge that feels traditional yet stylish, in keeping with The Balmoral’s Olga Polizzi-designed interiors throughout.
