Good location and charm- haven't been to the new restaurant under Alain Roux.

I hear better things about The Caledonian- and their rates are much more reasonable.

Still a few years off from The Rosewood opening if they can win their fight with council and preservationists.
And for more energized guests who love a good bar scene, the new W Edinburgh in the Ribbon project is slated to open in 2021. Having stayed at both the Balmoral and Caledonian (when it was still just a very nice Hilton), I am eager to see what the W will bring.

The Rosewood project is far from certain at this stage.
