The last Champagne cork has been popped and the choc box is bare – the festive season is over.

Fortunately, today’s New Year Lift Big Deal with Edinburgh’s G&V Royal Mile Hotel is just the ticket for banishing the blues and boosting your mood.

Indulgent afternoon

A stunning, five star hotel on the Royal Mile, the G&V blends effortless contemporary style with an historic Edinburgh location.

Available Sunday to Friday, this relaxing Big Deal is for one or two people to enjoy a two course lunch with a glass of a wine plus a relaxing 45 minute treatment at Spa G&V.

Stylish bar

Including a glass of wine, beer or a soft drink, guests can choose from a selection of main courses such as ricotta and pumpkin ravioli with Amaretto; the quinoa salad; Scottish smoked salmon served with goat’s cheese, red onion, boiled egg and pickled lemon or the hearty Scottish beef burger.

The choice of desserts features the hotel’s artisan ice cream; Catalan foam with berries; a tiramisu or the cake of the day from the talented patisserie chef.
