The first property of the Rocco Forte Hotels collection, The Balmoral, defines luxury in its purest form. With a French-inspired brasserie, 4AA fine-dining restaurant, award-winning afternoon tea, and two elegant bars – including one dedicated to whisky – it offers a refined sense of indulgence. The hotel is also home to a serene Irene Forte Spa and its signature tartan-clad doormen, adding unmistakable character.While many Edinburgh hotels claim to have Edinburgh’s landmarks on their doorstep, few can say their own doorstep is a landmark. Interiors by Lady Olga Polizzi bring Scottish heritage to life with understated elegance. A palette of blues and greys reflects the surrounding woodlands, heathered hills, and lochs, seamlessly blending landscape and luxury. At the Irene Forte Spa, Sicily meets Scotland in a restorative sanctuary. Alongside bespoke massages and advanced facials using botanicals from Verdura Resort’s organic farm, guests can enjoy a swimming pool, reformer Pilates, gym, and dedicated sauna and steam facilities. With vegan formulations rooted in decades of biomedical research, every experience is designed to deliver both indulgence and results.
