Hotel du Vin Edinburgh

Which culture is the most fabulous one – Scottish or French?

Obviously, Scotland has single malt whisky, seafood and castles.

But France has wine, pâtisserie and bistros. Ugh, total dilemma.

Thankfully, with this Big Deal you don’t have to pick between these two epically brilliant nations. That’s because you can enjoy the best of Gallic charms right in the heart of Edinburgh.

How? By bagging an overnight stay for two at the super chic Hotel du Vin in Old Town, of course.

Historic hotel

Based just off the Royal Mile and close to the Festival Theatre, Hotel du Vin Edinburgh is right on the doorstep of many of the city’s buzziest sights.

The four-star hotel has roots going back to the 18th century and, as you can imagine, is bursting with character.

It includes a cosy bistro restaurant, mezzanine bar, whisky snug and specialist Laroche wine tasting room (sounds very fancy).

Super comfy rooms

Guests rooms have enough comforts to leave you feeling totally spoiled.

These include custom-made sleigh beds, hand-sprung mattresses, soft Egyptian cotton bed linen, fluffy towels, bathrobes, and a powerful monsoon shower. Many also have stylish in-room roll top baths for a bit of romantic time.

Other features include a plasma TV and air-conditioning.

Overnight stay with dinner

Available Sunday to Thursday, this Big Deal is for an overnight stay for two with a two course dinner and full breakfast selection.

Dinner will be a two-course meal from the prix fixe menu, choosing either a starter and main or main and dessert.

This offer is valid until the 27th February 2020, so why not give yourself a new year getaway to feel excited about?

Atmospheric bistro

The Bistro at Hotel du Vin is a cosy and welcoming space with restored fireplaces, reclaimed floorboards and wine merchant memorabilia. It specialises in serving classic French dishes with a Scottish twist.

Typical mouthwatering mains might include roasted wood pigeon with haggis bon bons; Welch’s smoked haddock with poached egg, and Macsween vegetarian haggis with carrot pappardelle.

Ecstatic guests

Here is snippet from the kind of glowing review that has bagged Hotel du Vin Edinburgh a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence:

‘Amazing birthday… the room was amazing with everything you need. Staff were friendly and helpful… bistro is lovely and decorated with bottles and typical French pictures. The atmosphere is really nice with candles and also a fireplace!! The food was very good and you have a good choice! Wine list is amazing and you also have the chance to speak with a sommelier who is ready to suggest wine. We were looked after very well from all the staff!! Really recommend it!! Last but most important thing, we slept extremely well! Love this hotel, will be back soon!!’ 5/5

Sweep someone off their feet

Imagine your loved one’s face when you surprise them with a night at Hotel du Vin.

With today’s Big Deal, they will get to make the most of this atmospheric French-inspired hotel, including bistro dining and a generous breakfast selection.

In fact, why not make a night of it and book tickets for a show at the Festival Theatre as well?
