Two Sides of Luxury: From the Spa to the Stadium

Pampering

Two Sides of Luxury: From the Spa to the Stadium A his-and-hers indulgence in your favorite things:

In the morning, you can luxuriate in spa treatments, and the afternoon, treat yourself to the U.K. equivalent of a luxury skybox at one of the city’s two Scottitsh Premier League soccer teams.





Morning

Like most cities, many of Edinburgh’s hotels also have spa services, but Cowshed at the Scotsman distinguishes itself in a number of ways: its products are made in Somerset specifically for use at the spa, it’s housed in the original Scotsman newspaper building, and it offers the humorously titled Horns to Hooves treatment, a two-hour toxin-removing process that leaves you scrubbed, relaxed and refreshed.

Afternoon

Sport fans can treat themselves to a Scottish Premier League match at either Tynecastle Stadium to see the Heart of Midlothian football Club (Hearts) or Easter Road Stadium for the city’s other team Hibernian (the Hibs). At the former, hospitality options include special events in the Gorgie Suites, such as a Hearts v Hibs game with four-course meal with wine pairing. At the latter, hospitality options include a package at one of the stadium’s two restaurants, members lounge, or captains lounge; the perks range from hot food, executive seating and a cash bar to champagne, an executive seat, player appearances, drinks, snacks, and a three-course meal.

Overnight

Surround yourself in all that is elaborate, lush, and Gothic at The Witchery by the Castle, appointed with antiques, tapestries, regal furniture, and rooms with chocolates, Bose sound systems, and other touches.
