Innovative 'Balmoral Bath Butler' Introduced to Bedrooms

Edinburgh's landmark Balmoral Hotel is introducing the services of a Bath Butler from the beginning of June 2004. The Bath Time Menu is the epitome of luxurious service, offering a range of Molton Brown bath treatments designed to seduce, relax, pamper and indulge. In addition, a personal Bath Butler will run your bath at the ideal temperature and add your choice of bath-time products.

Guests can choose from a selection of baths including:
  • Relaxing Yuan Zhi - an intensely moisturising blend of Chinese yuan zhi, mango oil, plus essential oils of vanilla, ylang-ylang and rose, helps smooth and condition your skin, leaving the body calm and relaxed
  • Energising Seamoss - rich and long-lasting, this revitalising formula has pure ozonic aroma and is infused with body-boosting seaweed and horse chestnut extracts to leave your skin with a tingling, refreshed feel
  • Blissful Templetree - an infusion of exotic plants and bioactive extracts from the Indian Ocean combine to cleanse, rebalance and hydrate your skin
The ingredients change seasonally to capture the essence of spring / summer and autumn / winter, but the Bath Time Menu always offers up to six detoxifying, rejuvenating and relaxing bath types.

To round off the experience, guests can choose from the room service canapés menu, which allows guests to indulge in chocolate-dipped strawberries and champagne or opt for a more healthy approach, sampling fresh fruit smoothies and an exotic fruit platter.

Commenting on this innovative service, Debbie Taylor, General Manager at The Balmoral, said, 'The Bath Butler is an excellent addition to our new bedroom product, following our £7 million refurbishment. Many of our guests enjoy relaxing in their rooms and the Bath Time Menu adds an extra dimension to their Balmoral experience.'

This initiative is being rolled out across Sir Rocco Forte's UK hotels, including The Lowry Hotel in Manchester and The St David's Hotel & Spa in Cardiff.

Murray Thomson, Marketing Director - UK Hotels, commented, 'We are always looking for creative and innovative ways to improve the guest experience at The Rocco Forte Collection and our Bath Butler really is the definitive word in personal service.'
