Our Aveda Spa is Launching on the 1st November

The preparations are complete, the products placed and all the staff have become fully-trained experts in the new and exciting treatments we’ll be offering. There’s now just one more task to complete before we officially open to the public and guests… throw a successful launch party on Thursday the 31st of October (which, despite requests from some forthcoming attendees, will not be Halloween themed).

We recently emailed a number of invitations to our local members, guests and friends (if you’d like to be added to the mailing list, drop us a line with your details) and the places filled up pretty quickly. On the night there will be product demonstrations, party food, free drink and a section of goody bags to take away. Even though we've spent the last month continually trying and testing products and treatments… we’re especially looking forward to doing it over a glass of fizz with our guests.

Don’t worry though, all of the things that make our spa so special will still be here, like the stainless steel pool, Jacuzzi, Tropicarium and 60 station gym… but we've now got a new partner for all treatments and products. We’re really excited about the ethical, natural stance Aveda take with their brand; from the ingredients they use, down to the recycled paper and environmentally friendly ink they print our brochures on – everything is carefully considered.

We’ll be back with a bit more news about Aveda and our (hopefully) successful launch shortly. If you want to know anything more in the meantime, about this or anything to do with the Scotsman Hotel, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Greetings from the Scotsman Hotel, Edinburgh...


We haven’t ventured into the blogosphere before… but the chaps who look after our websites insist it’s important.

And whilst our web gurus are intent on us starting this blog for some mystic, internet search related reasons (that we don’t really understand)… we’re quite glad to be able to talk to our customers and guests in a more informal setting.

In that spirit this blog is going to take a look behind the scenes at the Scotsman Hotel, our Scotsman Spa & Health Club and our Northbridge Brasserie. We’ll share the latest news, events and thoughts of some of our staff and management… and take a look at what’s going on in the city of Edinburgh.

There’s going to be a great deal happening in our little corner of Edinburgh over the next few months. Our new Aveda Spa is going to be opening on the 1st of November, there’s a pretty nifty Christmas programme coming up in December (by which time we’ll all be bouncing off the walls with an infectious holiday spirit)… and we’re very excited about some of the things we’ve got coming up for the new year.

We hope you enjoy reading our blog… and please feel free to drop us a line anytime.
