The Balmoral Hotel

The Balmoral, 1 Princes Street, where Old Town meets New, a legendary hotel and landmark, a true symbol of its city. The Balmoral is one of the great railway hotels founded in the golden era of steam. To this day its majestic clock tower plays an important role in the Edinburgh skyline. From royal families and heads of state to cultural icons from every era, The Balmoral has been home to eminent figures over its 120 years.

Elegant and stylish, The Balmoral’s 167 rooms and 20 suites offer an invitation to experience and enjoy Scottish heritage. The design, as envisioned by Olga Polizzi, embodies the Scottish landscape, with a colour palette of blues and greys, bringing the country’s woodlands, heather-covered hills and lochs within the hotel’s walls. Many of the rooms add to the sublime sense of place with views out over Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat and the Old Town.
