Timeless Luxury in the Heart of Edinburgh

The Balmoral is one of Edinburgh’s landmark hotels, instantly recognisable by its clock tower overlooking Princes Street. You’re right on the edge of the Old Town, a short walk from the Royal Mile, Waverley Station, and Edinburgh Castle, making it ideal if you want everything on your doorstep.

Inside, the feel is classic and refined rather than flashy. Think marble floors, rich fabrics, fireplaces and quietly confident service. Rooms and suites are spacious and well soundproofed, with comfortable beds, large bathrooms, and a polished finish throughout. Many offer views towards the Castle or across the city skyline.

Dining is a real highlight. Number One, the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, delivers refined Scottish cuisine, while Brasserie Prince offers a more relaxed setting. Palm Court is well known for traditional afternoon tea. There’s also a stylish bar for evening drinks. The Balmoral Spa adds another layer, with a pool, sauna, steam room and treatment rooms – ideal after a round at nearby East Lothian or Fife courses. Overall, this is classic Edinburgh luxury done properly.

Key Information

Expect a smooth arrival with attentive but understated service from the moment you step inside. Rooms feel calm, comfortable and properly insulated from the city outside, despite the central location. Public areas are elegant without being stiff, and staff are experienced, professional and genuinely helpful.

The setting is hard to beat – step outside and you’re straight into central Edinburgh. It suits couples, small groups, and golfers looking to add a touch of luxury to a Scottish itinerary. It’s not a resort-style hotel; it’s a grand city base with character, history and high standards throughout.

Very prompt response to our initial enquiry about our golf holiday. Came back later on the same day with a range of options. Lots of information, which made it so easy for us to make a group decision about all aspects of our holiday. Phone calls returned and polite, sociable and courteous staff.

Golf Travel Centre never disappoints...

Highly recommend Golf Travel Centre, this is going to be our third trip with them and it’s always so easy and stress free, I always book through Daniel who is always on hand to answer our group questions and is quick to reply. If you’re thinking of booking a golf trip give them a try.

Why Stay at The Balmoral?

For many golfers, The Balmoral is about balance. You spend your days on the storied links of East Lothian or across the water in Fife, then return to a warm bath, a tailored cocktail, and one of Edinburgh’s finest dining rooms. That contrast is part of the appeal. You are not tucked away on a remote estate, you are in the heart of the capital, with castles, cobbled streets, and whisky bars within easy reach. The hotel adds polish to a Scotland golf trip, without feeling showy. Browse the deals above and see what suits your next getaway.
