Radisson Blu, Edinburgh

The novelist Alexander McCall Smith has said that Edinburgh ‘is a city of shifting light, of changing skies, of sudden vistas. A city so beautiful it breaks the heart again and again.’

Come and enjoy the sweetest heartbreak with today’s Big Deal on an overnight stay in a Superior Room at the cosmopolitan Radisson Blu.

Royal Mile location

Brilliantly located on the Royal Mile, this four star hotel is ideal for visiting well known attractions such as Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace as well as exploring the historic vennels, wynds and closes of the Old Town.

If you would rather explore the capital’s shops, Harvey Nicks and the designer boutiques of Multree Walk are only a short walk from the Radisson Blu.

Of course, from the 20th of November, Edinburgh’s Christmas program of events, attractions and European street markets gets underway.

There has never been a better time to visit the capital.

Overnight stay

Available Sunday to Friday, this Big Deal is for two people to stay in a Superior Room and enjoy the hotel’s super breakfast buffet in the morning. The offer includes a welcome glass of Prosecco on arrival.

Of course, guests are also welcome to take other meals (not included) in the hotel’s stylish Itchycoo Bar and Kitchen.

From smoked salmon to Aberdeen Angus beef, the menu offers a great taste of Scotland’s natural larder as well as more exotic choices from around the world.

Stylish rooms

Recently refurbished and designed in a welcoming, contemporary style, the Superior Rooms at the Radisson feature free WiFi, cosy slippers, a media hub and This Works luxury bathroom products.

The chic, modern design of the rooms is highlighted by black-and-white photographs of the city.

Fitness centre

In addition, the Radisson Blu has a state of the art fitness centre complete with a swimming pool and sauna which you are welcome to use during your visit.

Happy guests

The Radisson Blu on the Royal Mile has no shortage of fans. This is what a recent guest had to say on TripAdvisor:

‘Fabulous place to stay in Edinburgh. We had a fabulous stay at this wonderfully situated hotel… We had stunning views from the room. The staff were so helpful and friendly throughout, whether front desk, bar, concierge or restaurant. We really enjoyed the welcoming service each morning at breakfast and the choice of food set us up well to begin the day. I would love to go back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to anybody visiting Edinburgh.’

Christmas gift

This Big Deal writer is an Edinburgh local and I love the capital in winter. Looking across to the Castle from the Bridges is the sort of sight that would make Mr McCall Smith wax lyrical.

With vouchers valid to the end of January, this Big Deal would be perfect for a shopping trip or as a very convenient stop over if you were in town to catch a show at the Playhouse or Edinburgh Festival Theatre.

It would also make a fantastic Christmas gift.

If you know someone special who would love to see Edinburgh sparkle in the winter sun then snap up today’s Big Deal.
