Mr Wolfe’s review of The Balmoral

  • Privately owned
  • Historic building
  • Beautiful location
  • Superb service
  • Dog-friendly

As its name implies, a historic hotel of baronial grandeur set in the bustling heart of the Scottish capital. All the major attractions are within comfortable walking distance of its door.

The clock above the door runs three minutes fast so that nobody misses their train, a kindness I have often relied upon. J.K. Rowling finished the final Harry Potter here, and the whisky bar, Scotch, has more than 500 bottles.
