The Rocco Forte Collection's Balmoral is a luxury hotel in the true sense of the word. With its majestic clock tower, the hotel is a unique and contemporary luxury five-star property in the very heart of Edinburgh. While many Edinburgh hotels claim to have Edinburgh's landmarks on their doorstep, few can say their doorstep is a landmark. Located on Princes Street, in Edinburgh's main shopping area and next to Waverley Station, The Balmoral is close to the leading luxury department stores and within walking distance of many Edinburgh attractions.

On leaving Edinburgh International Airport, follow the signs for the A8 and Edinburgh City Centre. This will take you through the suburb of Corstorphine, passing Edinburgh Zoo on your left and Murrayfield Stadium on your right. You will soon approach the Haymarket district of Edinburgh.

Keep following City Centre signs into the West End junction of Princes Street. You will then come into a one-way system that takes you through Charlotte Square and onto Queen Street; follow Queen Street to its full length. This leads into York Place, passing the National Portrait Gallery on your right, before eventually reaching a roundabout. Take the second exit and keep in your right-hand lane. This is Leith Street. At the end of Leith Street you will come to a set of major traffic lights - at this point you will see The Balmoral on your right.
