A TRUE WALDORF WINTER

FESTIVE SEASON 2018 CELEBRATE THE FESTIVE SEASON WALDORF STYLE

Christmas and New Year are magical times in the calendar as we rush towards the end of one year and mark the start of another. It’s a time to bring people together, to catch up and enjoy the traditional and decadent dishes of the season.

The festivities create a cause for celebration, with evenings accompanied by mulled wine, Champagne, Christmas carols, mince pies, laughter and so much more – it’s a joyful time to enjoy with loved ones.

Whatever the reason for the gathering, our historic hotel will be transformed into a magical winter wonderland, brimming with festive sparkle from the moment you arrive.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh – The Caledonian and helping you create the perfect festive celebration and memories that will last a lifetime.
