The Edinburgh Grand, Scotland’s first Luxury Collection hotel, has unveiled the Spa at The Edinburgh Grand, a new luxury wellness experience set within the former Bank of Scotland vaults beneath St Andrew Square.
Located on the hotel’s spacious lower ground floor, the new wellness space transforms the historic vaults into a calm and design-led retreat in the heart of the city. The addition introduces three private treatment suites, bringing results-driven expertise of London’s most in-demand skin clinics to Edinburgh.
Designed as a refined dry spa, the concept reflects the evolving needs of the modern traveller. Rather than traditional wet facilities, Spa at the Edinburgh Grand focuses on precision-led facials and advanced body therapies that deliver visible results in a serene, time-efficient setting. The space is open to both hotel guests and local residents complementing the hotel’s preexisting gym within the vaults, which features state-of-the-art Technogym equipment.
Original architectural proportions have been carefully preserved, while oaklined walls, limestone finishes and Calacatta Viola stone creates a contemporary, calming environment that maintains the building’s character whilst offering a completely modern wellness experience.
The spa’s treatment menu has been developed in partnership with Skeyndor, the Spanish skincare brand renowned for its science-led innovations and clinical expertise. The approach brings advanced, clinically backed facial and body therapies to Edinburgh, elevating the spa experience to the standard of leading aesthetic clinics.
Each treatment begins with an in-depth skin consultation and diagnostic assessment, enabling therapists to tailor programmes to individual concerns -from single high-performance facials to longer-term skin health plans designed to deliver lasting results.
Tailored arrival and departure rituals help guests reset after travel or recharge between city adventures, while the calm, contemporary environment focuses on science-based results delivered through advanced skincare expertise.
Craig Munro, General Manager at The Edinburgh Grand, said: “Opening our wellness space within the original bank vaults lets us anchor the offering in the hotel’s story. As travel evolves, guests increasingly seek hotels that restore well-being and connect them to their destination. The Edinburgh Grand Spa provides a dedicated place to switch off and recharge, drawing on science-backed therapies proven to reduce stress and enhance recovery, so guests leave feeling both revitalized and inspired by Edinburgh.”
The launch marks the final stage in The Edinburgh Grand’s transformation into Scotland’s first Luxury Collection hotel, having introduced refreshed interiors across the hotel’s suites, updates to the front foyer and executive lounge, enhancements to the fitness centre and The Register Club, and a series of curated guest touchpoints celebrating local culture.
These include experiences such as the Wandering Barman, in-room private chef omelette breakfasts, whisky nightcaps and a 24-hour concierge service offering personalised itineraries across the city.
Situated just moments from Waverley Station and within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street and the Royal Mile, The Edinburgh Grand continues to appeal to leisure travellers, long-stay guests and business travellers alike.
Treatment prices at Spa at The Edinburgh Grand start from £115. For more information or to book, please visit: spaattheedinburghgrand.com
