The city is steeped in history and its skyline is dominated by the famous castle. The shopper has a field day here, but if the hustle and bustle of the main street gets too much there are always the well maintained parks and gardens in which to relax and unwind. Spectacular views often await at the end of an alleyway in the 'Old Town,' whilst the more modern architecture of the 'New' is also pleasing to the eye, since it was largely built back in the Georgian era! Museums, art galleries, concert halls and theatres offer a further cultural experience. With so much to do, it is easy to see why visitors return to Edinburgh time and time again. The Royal British Hotel will be having the passenger elevator upgraded at the beginning of next year (5th January to 16th May 2003). While we look forward to welcoming your clients to the hotel, we would like to point out that over this period extensive refurbishment of our elevator will be in progress. This means that access to the hotel all our bedrooms and public areas will be by stairs only. Naturally, any assistance will be given by our staff to ensure the minimum of inconvenience is caused during their stay with us. The work that is to be carried out is to replace the existing lift with a larger model to allow access to people in wheelchairs, and to meet new EU regulations. Should you, for any reason, feel the situation to be unacceptable to you, please do not hesitate to contact the hotel.
