A Sensational Summer in Edinburgh

Watching the sun set over Portobello beach, joining the swathes of festival goers to see world-class comedy acts and enjoying the succulent taste of Blairgowrie strawberries... these are just a few of our favourite summertime activities in Edinburgh. Every year, our city basks in the glow of hosting such an incredible events programme, and there’s nothing more beautiful than a wander around a sun-soaked Royal Botanic Garden either. All in all, we can’t think of a better destination to spend the summer months and with this in mind, we've put together three exciting offers so that every guest can get the most out of their summertime stay in Edinburgh.

Though we’re obviously a little biased, we like to think we can offer the best five-star stay in the capital and for us that means an all-round outstanding experience. Great location is a must, as are spectacular views. Interiors that combine historic Scottish charm and state-of-the-art facilities are a given… and the soft Egyptian cotton sheets? They’re an added bonus, but we don’t think it would be a luxury stay without them. A 60-station gym, 16.2 metre pool and Aveda spa help too, and well, it wouldn’t be a holiday without trying local delicacies. Our summer special offer includes 25% off a la carte dining at North Bridge Brasserie, our very own award-winning restaurant, meaning each guest will have the chance to sample delicious dishes including our exclusive haggis recipe, squid ink tortellini and homemade ice cream, at a discounted price during a five-star stay. 

While taking the chance to explore the city, it’s not uncommon for guests (and team members) to feel a little weary after fighting through the Royal Mile crowds. However, we have two luxury remedies for festival fatigue to ensure everyone can be back on their feet and ready to enjoy another fringe show or two in a matter of hours. First up is a delectable serving of Summer Afternoon Tea at North Bridge Brasserie. Combining finger sandwiches, freshly baked cakes and the refreshing taste of a strawberry mojito, we can’t think of a finer way to refuel this summer. If a stronger course of action is needed, our Scotsman Spa team will deliver the three P’s for £75pp. Polish, Pedicure and Prosecco. A 30-minute Aveda body polish will nourish skin, a 45-minute Stress-Fix pedicure will combine reflexology and soothing scents to truly pamper toes, and a glass of Prosecco will offer the chance to indulge just a little more.

Between a star studded EIFF and sizzling heatwave, an exciting summer has already started in Edinburgh and we’re looking forward to offering you the warmest of welcomes at The Scotsman.
