The Balmoral
Edinburgh
Edinburgh's grand Edwardian landmark at the east end of Princes Street, with its famous clock tower and castle views.
Opened in 1902 as a railway hotel, the Balmoral is one of the great hotels of Britain, its clock tower a landmark above Waverley Station. Rooms and suites blend Scottish character with Rocco Forte polish, many with views of the castle or the Old Town. Afternoon tea in the Palm Court is a tradition, and the whisky bar, Scotch, holds hundreds of single malts. The Royal Mile, the New Town and Calton Hill are all a short walk away.
