MOMENT OF TRANQUILLITY
When you are travelling away from home, we know sleeping well can help you to have a far more successful and enjoyable trip. We’ve worked in partnership with a behavioural sleep expert to create the ultimate ‘Moment of Tranquillity’ experience, to help you wake up refreshed after a peaceful night sleep, ready for the day ahead in our beautiful city of Edinburgh.
Relax and enjoy a dream stay in any of our splendid rooms with our curated sleep experience, which includes calming yoga and a luxurious turndown service, complete with our signature sleep scent.
Their Sleep Scent
Relaxing scents and fragrances help you unwind.
Named after the winter Celtic goddess Cailleach (Cail-ee-ach), our sleep scent has been specially created by Edinburgh perfumer Jorum Studio to lull you to sleep during the autumn and winter months, when the nights are longer.
Spray it over a warm bath, or in your room before you go to sleep.
Combining the soothing scents of chamomile, jasmine, ylang ylang, lavender and raspberry, the luxurious fragrance also features Scottish gorse. Gorse grows wild locally in Edinburgh and across the Scottish Highlands, the landscapes of which inspire the artwork in our splendid rooms.
