50 THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY The Glasshouse prides itself on its collection of 17 luxurious suites, all named after their own local whisky distillery or region including Macallan, Dalwhinnie and Glenfiddich, perfectly paired with the hotel’s exclusive selection of almost 150 Scotch whiskies. Drinks can be enjoyed whilst cosied up in front of the fireplace in the recently refurbished Snug or admiring the sweeping views of famed Calton Hill on the two-acre rooftop garden. THE GLASSHOUSE The knowledgeable team at the hotel, including Ken Hanley, the Glasshouse Hotel’s whisky ambassador, can guide guests through their choices or create bespoke cocktails for the individual. When not sampling the whisky, guests can explore the historic city of Edinburgh on the hotel’s doorstep or tuck into a picnic of Scottish delicacies specially prepared for the rooftop garden. Whether a whisky pro or novice, The Glasshouse is the ideal place to begin a journey into this historic drink, sampling some of the country’s best offerings, whilst enjoying delectable food and sumptuous accommodation. Prices for the Elite Whisky Experience start at £2,500 based on two guests for a two- night stay.
