The Balmoral Escape this summer

Summer brings out the best in Europe’s lively cities. Seek out the sunshine and enjoy Edinburgh’s historical walks, breath-taking highlands and romantic bike tours

Edinburgh puts on an incredible show come summertime. Highland games, stand-up comedy nights and the world’s biggest art’s festival. Scotland’s capital is home to a trove of wonderful indoor and outdoor activities, waiting to be discovered.

The Balmoral Hotel is an iconic landmark located in the heart of Edinburgh’s city center. It was originally built as a grand railway hotel in 1902 and has since been a symbol of luxury and elegance in the city.


The hotel’s name, “Balmoral,” is derived from Balmoral Castle, which is one of the official residences of the British royal family in Scotland. The hotel’s close proximity to the castle has attracted many notable guests, including members of the royal family.

On 11th January 2007, J.K. Rowling finished writing ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ (the seventh and final instalment in the Harry Potter series) at the hotel. To mark the occasion, the author signed an antique bust in the room in which she stayed.

The Balmoral’s personalised concierge services and tailored experiences at The Balmoral will help you explore the best of the capital’s many seasonal delights. Designed by Olga Polizzi, the J.K. Rowling suite, Bowes-Lyon Suite, Glamis suite, Balmoral Suite and Scone & Crombie Suite celebrate their most distinguished guests, as well as the culture and personality of the city.
