Edinburgh Balmoral Hotel: See inside luxury suites where the rich and famous stay in the capital

Edinburgh's luxury hotel, The Balmoral is a prominent feature on Princes Street and is often the first stop for celebrities.

Over the years the Edinburgh hotel has welcomed the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Paul McCartney, Michael Palin, and Sophia Loren and the Queen Mother was a regular visitor.

So it seems fitting that the luxury Glamis Suite is the chosen room for visiting royals who stop off in Edinburgh.

Named after the Scottish castle and the childhood home of The Queen Mother, the Glamis Suite, that was refurbished in 2019, oozes luxury and is just as majestic as the name sounds.

Kitted out with the finest details, Balmoral Hotel Suite feels like an apartment rather than a hotel room.

Guests can enjoy a cosy living area, dining room, master bedroom, complete with a king sized bed, a 42" screen smart TV, and an impressive marble bathroom.

The Edinburgh hotel suite offers a warm welcome to those who can afford a night of luxury.

Of course, this room is for those with deep pockets as just one night can cost over £2,000.

Guests can enjoy a variety of amenities including free high speed Wifi for up to five devices, a pillow menu, a fireplace, a full In Room Bar and housekeeping twice a day.

Rocco Forte Hotels describes the room as: "Large windows cast natural light upon the spacious salon, with its magnificent velvet sofas, tasteful antiques and original fireplace, and the sophisticated dining room, with its Scottish baronial furniture and antique chandelier, provides an elegant area for entertaining.

"Historic period features including ornate cornicing are complemented by exquisite drapes and wallpapers, whilst hand-picked collections of books and records make this spacious haven homely.

They add: "In the Arabascato marble bathroom, discover a free-standing bath and roomy walk-in shower stocked with exquisite Asprey toiletries, while in the bedroom, a king-sized bed with full-height, half-tester drapes promises a regal night’s sleep.

"Behind the Blithfield drapes, the views over Princes Street are peerless."
