It has one of the loveliest
spas in the world – the One spa. The Sheraton Grand
Hotel and One Spa in Edinburgh is indeed a beautiful hotel
with beautiful staff, so much so that it met my expectation.
This time, I have to decide on where I start with my praises!
I guess I can start by sharing my experience upon arrival.
When
you read from a hotel’s brochure that it is
nestled in the shadow of historical Edinburgh Castle,
and offers you the perfect spot from which to explore
the city's famous shopping thoroughfare, you get
excited. The hotel is a walking distance from Princes
Street, Edinburgh's financial district. It is also
close to The Exchange, the architectural interest
of the Georgian New |
|
Town,
and you can follow the cobbled Royal Mile to Holyrood
Palace or wander through the narrow streets of the Old
Town. The Sheraton Grand Hotel is ideally situated and
is a short taxi ride from the main train station but also
comfortable to walk from in order to explore the city
after you have relieved yourself from your luggage and
freshened up.
At Executive Traveller, what we love most about hotels
is the service you get from its staff and I was particularly
pleased with the team on duty during my visit.
 |
I
think that Starwood should be pleased too because
they all lived up to their reputation - excellence,
smiles and service. They delivered everything
you needed to give you a good night’s sleep
during the busy festival period in Edinburgh.
It is also very refreshing to wake up to breakfast
in the Terrace restaurant – real delicious
breakfast with a view.
|
With
so many things its favour, we have decided to indulge
your mind, body, and soul at their ONE Spa, on our Spa
destinations page. The Hotel’s ONE Spa deserves
a page of its own.
Bedrooms
The hotel has 260 bedrooms including 16 suites.
The guest rooms are spacious and bold and many
of them offer a view to the Edinburgh Castle as
if to remind you that you are still in Edinburgh.
They have suites, club rooms and an executive
lounge which offers complimentary breakfast, afternoon
hors d’oeuvres and a variety of beverage
options.

Executive
Travellers can opt for club rooms or junior suites to
enjoy free bottled water, complimentary access to the
fitness centre, but above all the access to the Executive
Lounge. The Executive Lounge is a relaxing space which
offers complimentary breakfast, afternoon hors d’oeuvres
and a variety of beverage options. It is also an ideal
place to connect with friends, or simply relax.
Dining
Dining at the Sheraton Grand means a choice between the
Santini, which is an Italian Restaurant and Bar, beautifully
set directly opposite the Edinburgh International Conference
Centre. It offers the authentic flavours and delivers
the best in Italian Cuisine.
Or
The Exchange Bar for afternoon tea
The Crush Bar, an informal lounge for hot and cold beverages
The Terrace for a good carvery
One Spa Café for the healthy options
Business,
Meetings and Incentives
If you are planning to host an event, the biggest thing
in the Sheraton Grand’s favour is its location;
directly opposite the Edinburgh International Conference
Centre, there is no better choice to do meeting business.

facilities together with 10 smaller meeting rooms,
