THE GLASSHOUSE
The Glasshouse
Introduces The Elite Whisky Experience
The Glasshouse, YTL Hotels’ five-star luxury
hotel, located in the heart of Edinburgh,
invites guests to sample a selection of
Scotland’s most prestigious whiskies with
a two-night Elite Whisky Experience.
Undoubtedly one of the UK’s most popular
destinations for enjoying a dram or two
of this national drink, The Glasshouse
provides the ideal backdrop for the whisky
connoisseur looking to further their journey
in sampling and better understanding high
profile and unique Scottish whiskies.
The signature Elite Whisky Experience takes
the grandest suite – the lavish Islay Suite
– and gives guests a 2-night stay in vast
accommodations overlooking the historic
Calton Hill, in the heart of Edinburgh’s city
centre.
The stay begins with a dram of whisky
from the Islay region to whet the appetite,
warming up in The Snug or enjoying the
sunshine on the hotel’s vast roof garden.
Following arrival, guests can dine on a
7-course whisky tasting dinner, which,
weather dependent, can be experienced
on the roof garden or for a more intimate
dining experience, enjoyed in-room. The
accomplished hotel chefs have worked
tirelessly to create a delicious menu
featuring locally sourced ingredients, with a
carefully selected whisky served alongside
each course. The following day, guests will
embark on a personal guided distillery tour
incorporating a bespoke tour at their chosen
distillery and 3 course dinner in the Snug.
