Built in 1848, the elegant and luxurious hotel is the ideal place for both holidaymakers and business travellers and ably combines tradition with modern facilities. A modern extension has been built, which ideally complements the Georgian architecture of the terrace building. Guests may treat themselves to international, British, and Scottich delicacies prepared by the famous head chef in the Melrose restaurant. On offer in the hotel are a total of 197 rooms, and facilities include a lobby area with a reception desk manned around the clock, a safe for depositing valuables, and a cloakroom. Guests may also, among others, take advantage of the Melrose lounge and atrium, the Consort bar, the pre-function bar, the room and laundry services, the Internet connection, and the George Suite for conferences and other events.
