of an alleyway in the 'Old

Whilst many hotels claim to have
Edinburgh's landmarks on their
doorstep, few can say their doorstep is a landmark.
The Balmoral combines service that is
attentive yet never intrusive
and has opulent suites and stylish rooms with stunning views towards
Edinburgh Castle, the Old Town or the internal courtyard of the hotel
for utter relaxation.
The hotel's recent ? million

All 188 guest bedrooms and suites were
fully refurbished in 2003 and
2004. Olga Polizzi, Director of Building and Design, has personally
overseen the refurbishment of the bedrooms.
The 168 guest bedrooms and 20 suites have
been individually designed.
Each bedroom has its own characteristics, borrowed from our Scottish
heritage, which offers a true refuge in which to relax or escape. The
striped carpets and paint colours in the bedrooms have the earthy colours of
the moors, mists and heathers that one associates with Scotland. Natural
fabrics were used throughout: linens, silks,
wools and leather and introduced on headboards, valances and comfortable
armchairs.
The artwork has been selected to reflect
Scottish themes and
includes artists such as Donald Campbell and his Bluebird, the
Skerrymore Lighthouse and a Circular Tour of the Highlands by Richard
Long.
The blankets, on the end of every bed,
are exclusively designed for
The Balmoral by Johnston's of Elgin.

A warm welcome to the The Balmoral in the
heart of Edinburgh from me, Joseph
Winders, Head Concierge at the hotel, and my team.
The Balmoral is situated in the heart of
Edinburgh and is well
serviced by all means of transport. Edinburgh Airport is situated
eight miles west from The Balmoral and will take approximately 25 minutes by
car.
When departing Edinburgh International
Airport, follow signs for the
A8 and Edinburgh City Centre. This will take you through the suburb
of Corstorphine, passing Edinburgh Zoo on your left and Murrayfield Stadium
on your right. You will soon approach the Haymarket district of the city.
Keep following City Centre signs into the
West End junction of Princes
Street. You will then come into a one-way system that takes you through
Charlotte Square and onto Queen Street; follow Queen Street to its full
length. This leads into York Place, passing the National Portrait Gallery on
your right, before eventually reaching a roundabout.
Take the second exit and keep in your right-hand lane. This is Leith Street.
At the end of Leith Street you will come to a set of major traffic lights -
at this point you will see The Balmoral on your
right. At this set of traffic lights take a right turn onto Princes
Street. You will now be at The Balmoral, where our Doorman will
welcome you and look after your vehicle. Please note, we have no car park
on-site; however, our Doorman will park your car in our secure garage,
located off-site. The cost is ?0 per night.
The hotel is situated next to Waverley
Station, where we will meet
you from your train, taking you to the hotel by taxi.
Whilst you are here, I hope you will have
time to explore and take
in the history, sights and sounds of this magical city.
I have put together a list of recommended
restaurants in the city
and also some of the major attractions you may wish to visit during your
stay.
If you would like any further information
on any activities or would
like me to personally organise a plan for your visit, please send me
an e-mail.
We look forward to welcoming you to The
Balmoral, and please do not
hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
