The dimensions of the classic bedrooms are such that their total area measures 22 square metres, and so they offer plenty of space for visitors. The rooms are suitable for two people thanks to their double bed while the bathroom comes with beautiful marble and ceramic features. In-room amenities begin with a mini bar and snack basket and work their way through to bathrobes and a hairdryer.

At 25 square metres the Balmoral Hotel’s executive bedrooms are larger than the classics and so they can hold two adults and a child. Rooms come in double and twin formats and an extra bed can be placed inside too. The executive rooms are elegant and have modern features; they are ideal for business visitors thanks to the presence of a desk, internet connection and telephone lines.

For a further upgrade there are deluxe bedrooms that have twin beds or king beds. The kings can host two adults and two children while the twins are suitable for two adults. Each of these bedrooms covers a total of 36 square metres and so there is plenty of space for those looking for some additional luxury during their time in Edinburgh.

The superior deluxe doubles are compact, at 22 square metres, while the superior deluxe kings offer 36 square metres of space and can fit two adults and two children. Evident throughout, though, is class, elegance and style, and the rooms are equipped with a whole host of amenities and comforts for guests to utilise and make the most of.

The suites at the hotel are second to none, and benefit from the ‘Rocco Forte Suite Experience’. This includes a host of complimentary facilities, including in-room check-in, un/packing service, full English breakfast, use of a Nokia mobile phone for local calls, internet access and movies.

The range of suites includes Classic, Deluxe and Grand suites, as well as the luxurious Royal Suite. Some Deluxe suites have views over the castle, while Grand suites look towards Arthur’s Seat and Carlton Hill. The Royal Suite is the best choice at the five-star Balmoral Edinburgh Hotel. At a great 140 square metres, the Royal Suite has lovely views over Old Town, and a beautiful mosaic bathroom with a stand-alone bath and walk-in shower. All suites at the hotel can accommodate two adults and two children.
