This Christmas, The Balmoral has partnered with Hawico, one of the leading European cashmere brands in the world. The Scottish family-owned company produces garments of the utmost luxury. This vision will be echoed throughout The Balmoral this festive season, as opulent cashmere decorations will be sprinkled throughout the iconic hotel’s lobby and Palm Court.

Guests visiting or staying at The Balmoral will be able to admire beautiful bespoke decorations from Hawico. From cashmere baubles and cashmere wrapped gifts to beautiful fairy lights, the iconic Edinburgh hotel will be transformed into a magical festive haven.

Andrew McPherson, General Manager at The Balmoral, said: “We are delighted to invite guests and visitors to experience our magical cashmere wonderland at The Balmoral this festive season.

“The hotel has been wonderfully decorated by the renowned Scottish cashmere brand, Hawico, with cashmere baubles sprinkled across our grand 16-foot Christmas tree located in our lobby. Our Palm Court, which is famous for its indulgent afternoon tea, has also been delicately decorated with cashmere baubles.

“Whether guests are staying with us this Christmas or visiting for afternoon tea, lunch, dinner, or drinks, we very much look forward to welcoming them to The Balmoral.”

Hawico’s factory is located in Scotland, only a two-hour drive from The Balmoral, and draws on over a century of traditional skills combined with new technological innovations to create the finest cashmere.

In Edinburgh, the Hawico store is located at the Grassmarket, just a short walk away from the hotel. The cashmere store is surrounded by cobbled streets and historical buildings, which create an idyllic surrounding for this iconic Scottish brand.

Matthew Thomson, Director of Hawico Scotland, said: “We are thrilled to have partnered with The Balmoral for their Christmas installation this year. We have had a long-standing relationship with The Balmoral, and it has been wonderful to work together this festive season to decorate the hotel’s grand lobby and Palm Court with beautiful cashmere baubles.”
