The Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh has unveiled its new food and drink destination as part of its £35 million renovation.
The Caley launches The Court later this month and is set to transform the food and drink offering at the hotel.
The renowned hotel on Princes Street has hosted famous faces through the years including Queen Elizabeth II, former US President Barack Obama as well as others like Roy Rogers and Gene Kelly.
The court is said to embody the ‘history and character’ of the hotel and combined ‘vintage luxury’ with ‘mid-century’ design.
They want it to become a social scene for residents and locals to gather and also houses a grand cocktail bar, a lively terrace for dining, patisserie, lounge and a live music stage.
The all-day dining menu has been curated by internationally acclaimed chef Mark Greenaway, using seasonal Scottish ingredients. Its staples will include fresh Scottish lobster roll and a 16-layer carrot cake.
The cocktail bar is the main attraction and takes inspiration from the 123 train, the fastest steam train associated with The Caledonian railways, casing back to the hotel’s history as a railway station.
Nitin Ramtri, general manager at The Caledonian Edinburgh, said: “We’re thrilled to unveil The Court and look forward to welcoming guests to this exciting new food and drink destination, which stands as a testament to the city’s rich history.
“At The Court, we’re not only providing physical spaces but an environment that reimagines networking, entertaining, dining events in an iconic building and location that only Edinburgh could offer.”
