The five-star Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

This hotel occupies a prime position in the heart of the city and is very stylish, tasteful and is one of Edinburgh’s most iconic hotels.

The hotel is stunning and has 260 bedrooms, with Sweet Sleeper beds in soft colours to ensure a relaxing ambience and the Club rooms have inspirational views to Edinburgh Castle. A grand staircase from the entrance takes guests to the cosy Exchange bar, which is the perfect place to enjoy a pre-dinner drink. Guests can then dine in either the traditional Terrace Restaurant, or in the Stylish, Italian Santini Restaurant.

Furthermore, stressed out guests can enjoy the excellent facilities of the fantastic One Spa which is a haven for relaxation. Regarded as Europe’s most advanced city spa, One Spa is the epitome of chic. It comprises an advanced gym and fitness studios, spa treatment programmes, shimmering pools, a thermal suite and sparkling rooftop hydropool, where visitors can people watch to the ground below.

Jamie Chalmers, One Spa’s Head Therapist (and Body Therapist of the Year 2006 & 2007), created a signature treatment in September 2007, called Vakruti Balancing. This is a unique fusion of ayuryedic influenced massage and reflexology. It restores natural balance, releases tension and reduces stress. Each treatment is tailored to individual requirements and therefore no two treatments are the same. Vakruti Balancing can aid a wide range of concerns such as emotional and physical rehabilitation, digestive disorders, lethargy and everyday stresses. Afterwards you can enjoy the facilities including an infinity pool, rooftop hydropool, thermal suite, Cleopatra baths and a state-of-the-art gym and a fitness and Kinesis studio.
