The iconic, five-star Glasshouse Hotel, located in Scotland's beautiful and historic capital of Edinburgh, is now offering an unforgettable and delicious rooftop picnic experience. The hotel's two acre rooftop garden provides a feeling of nature in the heart of the city, far enough away from the noise to give guests a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. 

This special rooftop picnic experience provides breathtaking views of Edinburgh's historic Calton Hill, which is included in the city's UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guests will be escorted to the tranquil lawn on the rooftop garden, (one of Edinburgh's true hidden gems) where they will be presented with a rug and picnic basket filled with an assortment of fresh Scottish produce, such as freshly baked baguettes, quiche, scones with cream & jam, Scottish macaroons and more. Accompanying the food is a choice of either a Scottish Bramble carafe or a SipSmith Summer Cup carafe.

This unforgettable al-fresco experience is perfect for a romantic retreat, an afternoon wih friends and even a relaxed celebration of a special occasion. The rooftop bar is another fun option for guests, and just inside the rooftop garden is the hotel's Snug restaurant, a cozy and relaxed spot where guests can enjoy afternoon tea, cocktails and casual fare by the fire. 

The Glasshouse Hotel, an Autograph Collection property owned by YTL Hotels, has a rich history, having been converted in 2003 from the 160-year-old Lady Glenorchy Church into what it is today. Leaving only the original front of the Gothic building, this 77-room, luxury boutique hotel is one of the best places to stay in Edinburgh, with its cozy-contemporary interiors and warm Scottish service.
