The Balmoral Edinburgh, a Rocco Forte Hotel

The Balmoral Hotel is one of Edinburgh's most prestigious hotels. Part of Rocco Forte Hotels, the hotel is housed in an imposing building that is well known in the city, the Clock Tower on Princes Street. The Balmoral Hotel's majestic clock tower has been an Edinburgh landmark for more than 100 years. The hotel's refurbishment respected the historic character of the building, while a mix of colours from the Scottish countryside gave the hotel a more contemporary feel. The hotel's stylish rooms and luxury suites offer stunning views of the city or the hotel courtyard. The hotel is situated in a beautiful spot in the middle of the city, on the border of Old Town and New Town overlooking Edinburgh Castle.

The Balmoral has verkelkomd Marcas Mac an Tuairneir, one of Scotland's leading Gaelic poets, as the house poet or Bàrd air mhuinntireas in Gaelic.

You can also dine at the Number One restaurant which is also awarded a Michelin star or at the Brasserie Prince by Alain Roux. Enjoy a truly classic Afternoon Tea in the Palm Court or a large selection of whiskies in the hotel's Whiksy Tasting Room.
