For over a century, The Balmoral has found a home at Edinburgh's most prestigious address, No. 1 Princes Street. A landmark Rocco Forte hotel set in the heart of Scotland's capital city, The Balmoral combines stunning views and warm hospitality with world-class facilities to create the perfect urban retreat. The Balmoral was ranked as the Top Hotel in The U.K. in the Condé Nast Traveler 2019 Readers' Choice Awards.
Standing proud since 1902, the historic building's majestic clock tower still dominates the Edinburgh skyline. Its clock is set precisely three minutes fast, to ensure residents never miss their train. In fact, the only day the clock is set correctly is Hogmanay for the city's New Year celebrations.
The Balmoral is the perfect home-from-home to discover Edinburgh and Scotland's finest attractions. Whatever the season, the hotel's dedicated Concierge team can open doors to some of the most unique experiences in Scotland. From tickets to the world-famous Edinburgh Festival events, access to the city's royal establishments - Holyrood Palace and the Royal Yacht Britannia – to the hotel's Tartan Butler Clan Tour, you'll find the best of Scotland at your finger tips.

The perfect marriage of tradition and modernity, each of the 167 rooms has been individually designed by Rocco Forte Hotels’ Director of Design Olga Polizzi. Elegant and stylish with unmistakably Scottish accents, each of our 20 Edinburgh suites are generous with magnificent views.
As part of a multimillion pound upgrade, The Balmoral refurbished its presidential suite, the Scone & Crombie Suite, in 2018. Named after the iconic Scone Palace in Perthshire, the signature suite has been designed as the ultimate city base for families or urban enclave for heads of state and VIPs. The flexible accommodation – which stretches to 198 square metres - can be booked as a two or three bedroom suite.
