A luxury hotel in the true sense of the word, Rocco Forte Hotels' Balmoral, with its majestic clock tower, is a stylish five-star property in the very heart of Edinburgh.

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 striking distance of many Edinburgh attractions. Edinburgh International Airport is just 25 minutes by car from the hotel, and its convenient location makes The Balmoral the ideal hotel accommodation in Edinburgh from which to enjoy the many events held in the city, including the Edinburgh Festival. When it comes to fine-dining, the choice of restaurants at The Balmoral matches the mood of the moment. With attentive but non-intrusive service, guests can choose from the hotel's Michelin-starred number one fine dining restaurant with outstanding cuisine provided by Chef Jeff Bland or Hadrian's for chic and informal dining. Guests can relax at the Bollinger Bar at Palm Court, with its glass dome and impressive chandelier. You can enjoy afternoon tea here and in the evening enjoy a cocktail to the accompaniment of live harp or piano music. For the ultimate in relaxation, the Balmoral Spa is an exclusive retreat in the heart of the city. It offers a 15 metre swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gymnasium, which are complimentary to guests. There are also five treatment rooms (with ESPA and Ytsara treatments).
