About Palm Court
Story
Fit for the royalty who have called Edinburgh home for centuries, the menu features a sumptuous selection of loose-leaf teas (pleasingly poured tableside), fresh pastries, dainty sandwiches and expertly crafted savouries, as well as a beguiling selection of Champagnes.
Take a seat under the green leaves of palm trees, gently bathed in the light that cascades down from the sparkling glass dome and the Venetian chandelier. Listen to the sounds of the harp, gently playing from the elegant gallery. Look around at the hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper, depicting the famed follies of Edinburgh in the verdant, sylvan landscape. It’s difficult to imagine a more decadent, indulgent treat.
