Rocco Forte’s The Balmoral, Edinburgh’s landmark hotel, has launched a Five-star Kids’ programme this week in a bid to woo younger guests.

The Balmoral already attracts a high proportion of children, as increasing numbers of families travel with their kids for both leisure and business purposes. The award-winning Balmoral is renowned for its outstanding customer care and the Five-star Kids’ programme is designed to ensure that children enjoy every aspect of their own “Balmoral Experience”.

Highlights of the programme include:
• Bath time – a wide range of “Junior” accessories, including Balmoral-branded ducks, bubble bath and pampering products
• Teddy turn-down – children can snooze peacefully with their “Balmoral Teddy”, which is placed on their pillow during the evening turn-down service
• Relaxation – customised children’s robes and slippers, perfect for curling-up and watching the wide choice of kids’ movies and programmes on offer
• Children’s VIP Amenities – each child receives a gift in their room on arrival. Seasonal highlights include a special visit from Father Christmas on Christmas Morning and a visit from the Easter Bunny on Easter Sunday
• Leisure – The Balmoral Spa features a 15-metre swimming pool, while a multitude of exciting attractions and activities are located minutes from The Balmoral’s front door

• Food and Drink – a Children’s Room Service Menu with a range of delicious treats including char grilled chicken fingers and Big Balmoral’s banana split, all beautifully presented on children’s crockery, accompanied by a Cinderella Cocktail. Hadrian’s Brasserie also offers its own Children’s Menu created by The Balmoral’s Michelin-starred Chef Jeff Bland.

Debbie Taylor, General Manager at The Balmoral, commented: “We welcome many children to The Balmoral and it is important that they feel as comfortable and relaxed as their parents, for the ultimate family experience. Our Five-star Kids are also our next generation of customers, and we enjoy providing a highly-personalised and tailored approach to our most treasured little guests.”
