Book Your Christmas Stay at The Scotsman Now

Here at The Scotsman Hotel, we’re big fans of forward-planning, anticipating every need, want and whim before we warmly welcome every guest. If you share in our passion for organising ahead, we think you may want to take a look at our luxury festive breaks or Christmas party packages, each of which offer an exciting array of seasonal experiences and are available to book now.

We can’t imagine a more attractive prospect than a fuss-free yet lavish Christmas, which is why we’ve gone about creating just that, complete witha welcome glass of Champagne for every guest, a classic film screening in our private cinema and an array of delicious culinary experiences. With a three-course Christmas Eve dinner, six-course Christmas lunch that’ll include homemade Christmas pudding drizzled in white chocolate, and a tempting serving of afternoon tea, we’ll deliver a feast-filled three night stay without you having to lift a finger. While those hoping to hit the sales in the most stylish way possible can opt for a two night stay from the 27^th that includes a £50 shopping voucher and 25% off Aveda treatments at the Scotsman Spa, ideal for a post-shopping pamper.

We’re also experts in letting our hair down. Fully versed in organising exciting events, we've made sure our Christmas party packages will deliver the most fun possible. From just £49pp, each guest will be greeted with a glass of Champagne, served a delicious three-course meal and offered the chance to dance the night away to music mixed by our resident DJ, while other add-ons available include tempting canapés and pre-party Aveda tanning treatments. However, our biggest night of the year is without a doubt Hogmanay, when guests can enjoy a Champagne reception, be piped into the award-winning North Bridge Brasserie and served a six-course gala meal… before being offered a special ‘hangover’ breakfast the following morning.

Despite delectable dishes and five-star entertainment, we can’t claim to be the only attraction in Edinburgh this festive season. Find fairy-light lit shop windows displaying tailored tweed suits and stacks of first-edition books along the winding cobbled streets of Grassmarket, while rows of designer boutiques in the New Town will offer a sleek selection to please even the pickiest of recipients, from cosy, Burberry scarves to luxurious leather Mulberry bags. Over the road, a Scottish Christmas market will boast hand-crafted goods, artworks and local delicacies in St Andrew Square, while a traditional European Christmas market in East Princes Street Gardens will also provide an inspiring gift selection.

Beyond present buying and sales shopping, the ever expanding line-up of events will ensure every taste and age is accounted for. Face-painting, a Christmas tree maze and an array of rides will await at Santa Land for little ones, who can also enjoy a trip to The Lyceum to see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe or the Snow White & the Seven Dwarves pantomime at King’s Theatre. Meanwhile, the European premiere of Scottish Ballet’s Cinderella will be performed to Prokofiev’s score at Festival Theatre, and Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, named one of the ‘top 100 things to do before you die’, is set to attract over 70,000 visitors. Join a four-stage street party, torchlight procession through the city, the UK’s largest outdoor New Year ceilidh and much more during the city's unique New Year celebrations.

If you think the atmosphere in Edinburgh is magical during the summer Festival season, you’ll be mesmerised by the capital this December. With such an array of attractions and world-class entertainment on the door-step, as well as indulgent fine-dining experiences and luxurious accommodation, there's so much to look forward to after booking your Christmas and New Year at Edinburgh’s The Scotsman Hotel.
