To celebrate the launch of The Getaway Expert, Metro's exclusive travel newsletter, we have partnered with The Rutland Hotel in Edinburgh to offer one fortunate reader the chance to win a truly luxurious overnight experience for two. This glamorous prize package includes dinner and breakfast, providing a perfect escape in Scotland's captivating capital.
A Boutique Hotel in the Heart of Edinburgh
Nestled just a stone's throw from the iconic Edinburgh Castle in the city's eclectic West End, The Rutland Hotel boasts 11 boutique rooms and 12 luxurious serviced apartments. The property has recently reopened following an extensive renovation, with guests already praising the exquisitely-designed interiors and sweeping views of the historic castle.
The winner will enjoy a stay in a spacious Executive Double room, featuring a bath and rainfall shower, a king-sized bed, and stylish décor. Thoughtful amenities include Arran Aromatics toiletries, Nespresso coffee machines, GHD hair dryers and straighteners, plus a well-stocked mini bar.
Dining Delights at Badger & Co
Dinner forms a key part of this exceptional prize. The lucky pair will dine at Badger & Co, located in a splendid Georgian townhouse on the historic Castle Street. The restaurant takes its name from a character in Kenneth Grahame's classic The Wind in the Willows; Grahame was born at 32 Castle Street in 1859.
Inspired by Mr Badger and the Wild Wood, the seasonal menu celebrates the finest local and seasonal produce, with ingredients foraged from nearby hedgerows. Highlights include:
- Woven whisky-glazed Scottish smoked salmon
- Scotsman scallops from the west coast
- Pork tomahawk steak
- Butter-poached cod
Breakfast at The Huxley
After a restful night in the king-sized bed, guests can head to the ground floor of The Rutland Hotel for breakfast at their all-day restaurant, The Huxley. The menu offers everything needed before a day exploring Edinburgh's UNESCO-listed heritage sites, from a Full Scottish breakfast with Hardiesmill beef sausage, haggis and black pudding, to their famous Breakfast Crolls – a delicious croissant roll filled with choices like hot smoked salmon.
Explore Edinburgh's Iconic Sights
The hotel's central location is ideal for sightseeing, with the Scottish capital's most recognisable attractions right on the doorstep. You can stroll down the Royal Mile, marvel at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, or visit The Elephant House café, where early Harry Potter books were written, which has recently reopened after a fire.
