Five-star Kids at The Balmoral

Edinburgh's landmark Balmoral Hotel is today launching a Five-star Kids' programme, in a bid to woo its younger guests.

The Balmoral already attracts a high proportion of children to the hotel, as a result of more families travelling with their children for both leisure and business purposes. The award-winning Balmoral is renowned for its outstanding customer care and the Five-star Kids' programme is designed to ensure that children enjoy every aspect of their own "Balmoral Experience".

Special highlights of the programme include:
  • Bath time - a wide 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.

  • Children's VIP Amenities - each child receives a gift in their room on arrival. Seasonal highlights include a special visit from Father Christmas on Christmas Morning and a visit from the Easter Bunny on Easter Sunday.

  • Leisure - The Balmoral Spa features a 15-metre swimming pool, while a multitude of exciting attractions and activities are located minutes from The Balmoral's front door.

  • Food and Drink - a Children's Room Service Menu with a range of delicious treats including chargrilled chicken fingers and Big Balmoral's banana split, all beautifully presented on children's crockery, accompanied by a Cinderella Cocktail. Hadrian's Brasserie also offers its own Children's Menu created by The Balmoral's Michelin-starred Chef Jeff Bland.
Debbie Taylor, General Manager at The Balmoral commented: "We welcome many children to The Balmoral and it is important that they feel as comfortable and relaxed as their parents, for the ultimate family experience. Our Five-star Kids are also our next generation of customers, and we enjoy providing a highly-personalised and tailored approach to our most treasured little guests."

The Balmoral - part of the luxury The Rocco Forte Collection' collection - has already scooped 18 accolades this year alone. Recent awards include RAC Hotelier of the Year for General Manager Debbie Taylor, and third-best hotel in the UK (top in Scotland) as nominated by readers of The Guardian.
