Stylish surprises in the capital

During a break to beautiful Edinburgh you’ll find yourself spoilt for stylish bars and spas to relax in following a day spent seeing the sights and browsing the shops.

 

Indulge in designer labels on George Street or head to Multrees Walk for some luxury items at Scotland's only Harvey Nichols store. From jewellery to glamorous dresses, suits and handbags you will be sure to find surprising and exclusive items. Whilst there head to the Forth Floor to enjoy delicious food, treat yourself to glamorous cocktails from the comprehensive cocktail list and soak up the spectacular views of Edinburgh as well as the Firth of Forth. Why not indulge in a sweet selection of treats served with a twist at the Chocolate Lounge where you will find a unique conveyor belt brimming with chocolate delights?

 

The capital boasts many hotels where you can enjoy a pampering session. One Spa at The Sheraton offers a revitalising experience, where you can leave the worries of the world behind you, while the 5-star treatment rooms at The Balmoral provide a real retreat at the city's heart.  

 

Head to the West Port, beside Edinburgh’s historic Grassmarket area, to experience a unique cocktail lounge at Dragonfly. If the list of nearly 30 options on the cocktail menu doesn’t appeal, the staff will be happy to make your ideas for the perfect cocktail a reality. Or why not head to Oloroso to soak up thrilling views over Edinburgh’s skyline as you relax with a chilled glass of wine on the rooftop sanctuary high above the city or indulge in delicious food in the restaurant?

 

The award-winning Voodoo Rooms is an opulent treat for the senses with rich dark wood and velvet strewn interiors, a perfect place for a cosy autumn drink after a shopping spree. Great food, live music and cabaret events all add to the experience.

 

At the amazing Le Monde, situated in the city’s elegant New Town area, you can have cocktails in Paris, wine in Vienna and coffee in Milan. The owner is a keen traveller and has named all areas of this unique hotel, bar and restaurant after his favourite cities. You can tour Europe before stepping outside into the beauty of Edinburgh in autumn.
