Balmoral Hotel

Easter egg hunting, champagne tasting, face painting, relaxing spa treats, festival hopping and gourmet dining. Just some of the Easter Experiences that you can enjoy whilst staying at Rocco Forte's The Balmoral, this April.

The Balmoral's Easter Experiences:

Easter à deux:
Enjoy a truly indulgent Easter at Edinburgh's landmark Balmoral Hotel, from £160 per room per night, on a bed and breakfast basis, for two people in a classic room. Luxurious add-ons include world-famous Afternoon Tea in Palm Court, vintage champagne in The Bollinger Bar, a gourmet extravaganza in Michelin-starred number one restaurant, and a day of spa treatments in the award-winning Balmoral Spa.

Five-star Easter Kids:
Bring the family to The Balmoral this Easter, and enjoy a dedicated "Five-star Kids" Programme. This is designed to ensure that children enjoy every aspect of their own "Balmoral Easter Experience". Special highlights of the programme include:

• Children's VIP Amenities: each child receives an "Easter goodie" in their room on arrival, and a visit from the Easter Bunny on Easter Sunday
  
  
• Bath time: a range of "Junior" accessories, including Balmoral-branded ducks, bubble bath and pampering products
  
  
• Teddy turn-down: children can snooze peacefully with their "Balmoral Teddy", which is placed on their pillow during the evening turn-down service
  
  
• Relaxation: customised children's robes and slippers, perfect for curling-up and watching the wide choice of kids' movies and programmes on offer
  
  
• Leisure: The Balmoral Spa features a 15-metre swimming pool, while the city's Easter Festival is located minutes from The Balmoral's front door
