Or maybe I’m just not a princess :), because this is the best sleep I have ever gotten at a hotel! Getting out of the huge bed every morning was the worst thing about staying here… The Balmoral is centrally located, right on the main street of Edinburgh (Princes Street), and even though there is traffic all around, it was dead silent in my room. Well, I guess room is not the adequate description of what I stayed in, because lucky me got a suite with a living room, walk-in dressing room, bedroom, bathroom and a superb view of Arthur’s Seat! The hotel’s interior matches its grand exterior, breakfast service is like a top-notch restaurant, with both a menu of dishes to order and a buffet, and the concierge, who shook his head, smiling, every time I came in the front door with even more shopping bags, will always be my favorite 🙂

I’m so jealous that you got to stay in the Balmoral, you lucky thing!
It was just amazing! The concierge kept shaking his head every time I came in the door with new shopping bags 😀
Such a beautiful hotel! We went for a drink there when I visited the city but staying at the hotel looks like a fabulous experience. Great location – your suite sounds amazing! Thanks for linking to #citytripping
Yes, it is! And the staff was super nice too. I loved staying there, and when my employer pays for a suite I’m not the one to decline 🙂
Looks amazing! Sometimes, I wonder where they got hotel’s beds. Some of them are so comfy. You feel like not going out at all.
I know! Actually good I don’t have that at home, otherwise I’d never get out of bed in the morning – I’m having trouble now as it is 🙂
It’s such a majestic hotel isn’t it – I’ve never stayed (sadly) but I can imagine how luxurious it is inside, and wonderful views and location. Thanks for linking up to #citytripping
It was my first high-end hotel experience, and I loved every minute of it 🙂
Did you see any more of Scotland or just Edinburgh?
I was there for work, so unfortunately Edinburgh only. But I loved it! Come to think of it, we did go to this huge castle somewhere outside Edinburgh, about an hour or so. Next I want to do the Scottish Highlands!
Well we have no shortage of castles in Scotland that’s for sure. Highly recommend the Highlands, have a look at the newly launched North Coast 500 route. So much history…….
Thanks for the tip!
Looks like a nice decor – green and grey – very soothing. And what floor were you on? That looks pretty high up!
These photos are from the hotel’s website. I didn’t stay in that particular suite, but had a similar one. Don’t remember which floor I was on, but I’m thinking the 3rd. Just remember I had a great view of Arthur’s Seat from my bedroom. First, and, so far, last time in a 5 room suite 🙂
