Edinburgh gyms: First look inside The Balmoral Hotel’s new gym after refurbishment

Iconic Edinburgh hotel The Balmoral unveils a unique new gym for members and guests

The Balmoral has announced the reopening of its gym facilities after undergoing an extensive refurbishment – and we’ve had a look inside.

The hotel’s gym is now fully-equipped with Technogym cardiovascular equipment and a separate weights room with both free weights and Technogym weight machines.

The gym’s interior design is the creative work of Olga Polizzi, Rocco Forte Hotels’ Director of Design, who has added vibrant new acrobatic wallpaper and large circular mirrors to give an energetic and inviting feel to the space.
