Balmoral beats off the Winter Blues
The festive season may almost be over, but that's no excuse to anticipate January with a sense of dread. Take advantage of The Balmoral's upcoming Calendar of Events, designed to ensure you start 2005 with a bang.
Eight ways to beat off the Winter Blues:
- For all avid shoppers, January can only mean one thing: the "January Sales". The Balmoral's "Retail Therapy" Experience, in association with Harvey Nichols, is the perfect excuse to live it up and enjoy luxury all the way. The package includes £100 spending money in Harvey Nichols, which will go that little extra in January!
- The "Retail Therapy" Experience:
- Luxurious accommodation in a twin/double deluxe room, including full Scottish breakfast
- A glass of champagne on arrival
- £100 to spend in Harvey Nichols (£50 per person)
- A complimentary make-over at Harvey Nichols by a top Consultant from a leading Cosmetic House
- A mini manicure
- A cocktail in Harvey Nichols
- Celebrate Scotland's most famous Bard. Experience a unique Burns Supper in chic and stylish Hadrian's Brasserie and enjoy a four-course dinner, including the traditional Haggis Ceremony with Scottish Piper, Wine and Whisky. £36.00 per person on Tuesday 25 January at 7.30pm. Call 0131 557 5000 to reserve a table.
- You may think joining The Balmoral's exclusive Spa comes at a price. It doesn't. Join The Balmoral Spa throughout the month of January, and your joining fee will be waived! In addition, take advantage of a Personal Training Session to kick-start 2005 into shape! Call 0131 622 8880 to meet the team and arrange a viewing of the facilities.
- Your finances may not be flowing in January, but you can still enjoy a sociable drink in NB's Bar during Happy Hour, with a wide range of special promotions every day between 5pm and 8pm. Call 0131 556 2414 to reserve your own "Private Area."
- Michelin-starred number one restaurant will be closed from 02 January and will re-open on 15 January. Celebrate the re-opening with Jeff Bland's outstanding six-course Tasting Menu, at £55.00 per person or £90.00 with wines. Call 0131 557 6727 to reserve a table.
- Relax, indulge and detox at The Balmoral. The ESPA Detoxifying Algae Wrap is designed to ease away tension, boost metabolism, reduce water retention and speed up the elimination of toxins. The ideal way to get back on track for 2005. Call The Balmoral Spa on 0131 622 8880 to book your treatment.
- Escape the madness of the January Sales. Pop in to Palm Court for a spot of Afternoon Tea in the most elegant surroundings, or work your way through the new range of Champagne Cocktails. A must!
- Plan your romantic Valentine's Night to ensure you don't disappoint your loved one. The Balmoral has created a host of Valentine's Experiences, designed to ensure a truly unforgettable extravagance. Treat your other half to a culinary feast in number one (£75.00 per person); a chic and stylish four-course dinner in Hadrian's (£38.00 per person) or simply pop in to Palm Court for a glass of pink champagne and canapés (£12.50 per person).
