This is sure to be a Hogmanay you’ll never forget. The black tie gala ball, held in one of Edinburgh’s best known hotels, will set you back £320 per person, or £850 if you fancy adding two nights of accommodation.
In the evening you will first be greeted by a pipe band and then moved on to a Champagne and canapé reception where the jazz trio, Le Swing, will entertain you throughout. From here you will then move on to a grand four-course dinner, with specialist wine pairings for each dish.
After the dinner, a ceilidh band will keep you
dancing until the bells where you can then look over Princes Street as the firework display welcomes in the New Year.
A Hogmanay well worth the investment.
