The Caledonian Edinburgh hotel is set to unveil its brand-new food and drink destination The Court later this month.
The news follows Henderson Park’s £35m investment in renovation and the hotel’s transition to join Curio Collection by Hilton. The transformation to the food and drink offering will be one of the latest large scale developments to the hotel, named as ‘The Caley’.
The hotel at the west end of Princes Street, within sight of Edinburgh Castle, has been part of the social fabric of the city for over a century, welcoming guests from all over the world and hosting famous faces such as Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II, US president Barack Obama, and musical legends Roy Rogers and Gene Kelly.
The Court also embodies the history and character of its past, combining “vintage luxury and mid-century” design.
The new space features a grand cocktail bar, a terrace for dining, patisserie, lounge and is finished with a live music stage. It also includes an all-day dining menu curated in collaboration with internationally acclaimed chef, Mark Greenaway, using seasonal Scottish ingredients and some of the “finest” local provenance.
The Court’s staples include Scottish Lobster Roll and a 16 Layer Carrot Cake. Meanwhile, the patisserie will serve signature pastries like its Pistachio Croissant and the Caledonian’s seasonally-themed Afternoon Teas – debuting its ‘Timeless Classics’ Afternoon Tea upon opening.
Additionally, the cocktail bar, which draws inspiration from the “iconic” 123 train, the fastest steam train associated with The Caledonian railways, will offer a selection of signature cocktails, “one-of-a-kind” serves, and Caledonian classics, collaborating with local suppliers, and incorporating sustainable, climate positive spirits.
Lastly, the stage will feature a weekly music programme of performers, which allows sightlines from all corners of the 100-seat bar, terrace and lounge.
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.”
