A Valentine's Experience at Edinburgh's most romantic hotel

Edinburgh's landmark Balmoral Hotel, now in full festive flow, is already looking forward to 2006, the year of true romance.

The Balmoral is planning a host of exciting events and romantic activities for the New Year. Decadent themes include Bollinger Champagne on tap; a Bath Butler to serve chocolate-dipped strawberries and martinis in your roll-top bath with views over the city; a rose-petal turndown, and "Spa for him and her " in the Couple's Therapy Suite in The Balmoral Spa.

With Valentine's Day in mind, one other fabulous service - which is particularly popular with male guests - is the outstanding knowledge offered by The Balmoral's Concierge Team. The Team will happily arrange a Personal Shopper to come over to the hotel armed with a choice of dazzling dresses for a truly unforgettable date; orchestrate a private opening at one of the city's leading diamond boutiques for a very special occasion indeed, or simply recommend the perfect spot for the perfect date in one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Other Balmoral Valentine's experiences on offer include:
  • number one Valentine. Enjoy a glass of chilled champagne on arrival, followed by an outstanding five-course gourmet dinner created by Michelin-starred Chef Jeff Bland. This is the ultimate Valentine dining experience.

  • Luxury all the way with "Simply Valentine's". Check into The Balmoral for an unforgettable "Simply Valentine's Experience" which includes cocktails on arrival, overnight luxury accommodation, rose-petal turn down, champagne breakfast and complimentary use of The Balmoral Spa (excluding any treatments).

  • Bollinger at The Balmoral. Enjoy Champagne Afternoon Tea in luxurious refinement - the perfect way to spend a Valentine's Afternoon. As dusk approaches the lights are dimmed, the candles are placed on the tables, the Resident Pianist tinkles the ivories of the Baby Grand and it's Bollinger all the way in Scotland's only Bollinger Champagne Bar.

  • Experience a chic and stylish Valentine's Night at Hadrian's Brasserie, with a delicious three-course menu including a glass of sparkling wine on arrival.
