About the Hotel

For over a century, The Balmoral has found a home at Edinburgh’s most prestigious address, No. 1 Princes Street. A landmark Rocco Forte hotel set in the heart of Scotland’s capital city, The Balmoral combines stunning views and warm hospitality with world-class facilities to create the perfect urban retreat. The perfect marriage of tradition and modernity, each of the 167 rooms has been individually designed by Rocco Forte Hotels’ Director of Design Olga Polizzi. Elegant and stylish with unmistakably Scottish accents, each of our 20 Edinburgh suites are generous with magnificent views. Enjoy Michelin-starred dining at the famous Number One restaurant, sample modern Scottish Afternoon Tea under the glass dome of Palm Court or relax in the serene sanctuary of The Balmoral Spa. Brasserie Prince, launched in 2018, celebrates a 'new alliance': matching the very best of Scottish produce with classic French cooking, while The Balmoral’s signature whisky bar, SCOTCH, pays homage to Scotland’s national drink and is home to one of Edinburgh’s largest collections. Take a seat on one of the tweed sofas and let a kilted Whisky Ambassadors help you choose from over 500 varieties. The Balmoral is the perfect home-from-home to discover Edinburgh and Scotland’s finest attractions. Whatever the season, the hotel’s dedicated Concierge team can open doors to some of the most unique experiences in Scotland. From tickets to the world-famous Edinburgh Festival events, access to the city’s royal establishments - Holyrood Palace and the Royal Yacht Britannia – to the hotel’s Tartan Butler Clan Tour, you’ll find the best of Scotland at your finger tips.

Reviews for The Balmoral

Perfect

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Stayed last weekend for our wedding anniversary. Can only say one thing about this hotel and our stay PERFECT. The location is amazing. The staff are warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We had dinner in the No 1 restaurant which was outstanding. We also used the spa which was relaxing after a hard days walking.

An amazing stay at The Balmoral to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The attention to detail is outstanding and the personalised service we received was exceptional. Our room, the staff, facilities, breakfast, dining and indeed everything was incredible and made our stay so memorable.

Excellent service

Excellent Hotel, excellent service throughout our stay. From the moment we entered the hotel, to help finding our Uber in the rain to eating in the bar and the One, all were excellent. When waiting in line at the bar, we went to the front to ask about how long to be seated and as hotel guests they found us a spot right away. Very pretty setting and they understand service. Only downside was the call to say the room was ready came at 3:10. Technically check in is 3:00pm. We arrived at 11:30, would have expected to get the room earlier. Dinner at The One was exceptional. Service level and detail and food - highest quality, not pretentious.

Met by experienced door staff with us in the car who quickly assisted my wife then saw to the luggage. The Reception staff efficiently allocated our bedroom showed us up to where we would be staying. Luggage brought up to the room then a massage. All very good with staff friendly and interested in us.
