Originally home to The Bank of Scotland, Cheval The Edinburgh Grand’s Directors’ Suite was one of the most important rooms in the building – the bank’s board of directors’ dining room. We can only imagine the interesting conversations that must have taken place in this room! Now fully renovated, the Directors’ Suite ticks all the boxes with its original fireplace and gold ancient wood paneling. The middle of the apartment houses a large table that seats ten guests and perfect for nights dedicated to showing off your culinary skills (or have someone cook for you!). Retire to the master bedroom complete with large cognac wood-panels and a king-size bed. An ideal place to both relax and entertain.
