Make The Balmoral your Royal Residence
This summer a truly regal retreat awaits at The Balmoral, a Rocco Forte Hotel, set in the heart of Edinburgh. To mark Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, The Balmoral will host a ‘Season of Royal Jubilation’ to honour The Queen’s 70th Year of Service. Guests are invited to a summer filled with opulent suites, fine-dining and five-star service.
Offering exceptional comfort and style, marrying contemporary and heritage accents, The Balmoral’s suites are generous in size and elegant in design, with many offering unparalleled views over the Old Town, Arthur’s Seat or Edinburgh Castle. In celebration of the Jubilee, suite guests will be welcomed with one of Her Majesty’s favourite recipes; The Balmoral Fruit Cake, lovingly baked by the team of expert pastry chefs and ready to enjoy in the comfort of your suite.
With royal connections aplenty, guests of The Balmoral can also stay in the hotel’s Bowes-Lyon Suite, aptly named in honour of Queen Elizabeth’s Mother and former patron of The Balmoral. The Queen Mother, born Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, is celebrated in the suite name which offers fitting accommodation to mark the occasion. Perfectly blending heritage and modernity with style and character, the Bowes Lyon Suite is one of the hotel’s most illustrious signature suites.
Toast Her Majesty in Bar Prince with the perfect Royal tipple. The Bar Prince mixologists will create a Gin and Dubonnet cocktail for guests to enjoy in the convivial and relaxing surroundings of Bar Prince, using the hotel’s premium own-label Scottish gin ‘Baile Mhoireil’ and a nod to Queen Elizabeth’s favourite after-hours spirit.
To celebrate the occasion, the Balmoral’s Pastry chefs at Palm Court have designed a unique Jubilee Afternoon Tea experience. Palm Court offers over 88 teas and a range of the finest Charles Heidsieck champagnes to accompany your afternoon of decadence. The perfect way to spend a leisurely afternoon this Summer, with royal inspired sweets including Battenberg Cake, Cherries Jubilee Summer Pudding and Platinum Pimm’s Fruit Jelly with Royal Borage Flowers. Depart from an afternoon of champagne and celebrations with a gift box memento of your day.
Spend the day exploring Edinburgh’s Royal attractions, from a tour of the Royal Yacht Britannia to a walk around the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh is the perfect place to celebrate the Jubilee and The Balmoral is set for an exciting summer to mark the occasion.
