GRAND ESCAPE TO THE CITY

Descend the Grand Staircase that inspired Gene Kelly to perform a few impromptu steps during his stay at the hotel following the filming of ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and experience the grandeur of Peacock Alley, once the Princes Street Station concourse and ticket office, now a breath-taking lounge featuring the original red sandstone walls and clock of the station. Admire the beautiful surroundings with a pot of loose leaf tea, a glass of crisp champagne and sumptuous afternoon tea, and make the occasion extra special with a Sabrage demonstration, the art of opening a bottle of champagne with a sword. Savour the best of Scotland’s larder at the new fine dining restaurant, Dean Banks at The Pompadour featuring a 7-course tasting menu led by Dean Banks’ passion for Scottish seafood, and enjoy the relaxed, family-friendly restaurant, Grazing by Mark Greenaway, offering sharing plates and unique concept dishes created by celebrated Edinburgh Chef Mark Greenaway. Then bask in the summer sun with a cocktail in hand at The Courtyard at The Caledonian, the hotel’s popup outdoor summer bar which offers a selection of sharing platters, champagne and more.

Indulge and relax at the UK’s only Guerlain Spa with a choice of an array of spa treatments including signature massage, facials, manicures, pedicures and lash treatments. Take a dip in the pool with castle views and treat yourself with the whirlpool, steam room, sauna and two gyms.
