The Balmoral
Clock tower landmark with a proper dog welcome pack and Bar Prince
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
Princes Street Gardens is directly across the road and Calton Hill is a ten minute climb from the door, so the first walk of the day is done before breakfast. Holyrood Park and the foot of Arthur's Seat are about 25 minutes down the Royal Mile.
One dog under 9kg per room, and your dog isn't left alone in the room.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
GBP 50, Per stay, or every 15 nights
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Dogs sit with you in the library area of Bar Prince and in the Gallery. The restaurants, the spa and the fitness area are people only. Housekeeping services the room while your dog is out with you. Heavier dogs can be considered with written approval from management before you arrive.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
