The Dunstane Houses in Edinburgh is celebrating the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with a ‘Live like a Royal’ package that will take guests to the city’s key sites and offer a taste of the royal treatment. Upon arrival at the Dunstane Houses, a renovated townhouse hotel dating back to 1852, guests will be welcomed by a royal-themed champagne afternoon tea full of The Queen’s favourites, including the finest egg mayonnaise and cucumber finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, a freshly brewed pot of Earl Grey tea and glass of champagne.The following day, the hotel’s resident ‘Royal guide’ – known locally as Andy the Highlander – will whisk guests off on a day-long tour of the city’s royal hotspots clad in full Scottish plaid. These include Linlithgow Palace, where the young Scottish Queen Mary was born; Borthwick Castle, where Mary was besieged in 1567; and Holyrood Palace, our current Queen’s official residence in Scotland and where Mary spent most of her life, including marrying two of her three husbands. The tour will conclude with a visit to the Royal Yacht Britannia (as featured heavily in the latest season of The Crown) and Edinburgh Castle, home to the Crown Jewels, comprising the crown and the sceptre.After a day living like the Royals, guests will return to the Ba’ Bar, the Dunstane’s all-day lounge and bar home to one of the widest selections of whiskies in Edinburgh. A Scottish dinner will be served followed by a whisky tasting with the hotel’s resident connoisseur.The Dunstane Houses is a boutique hotel comprising two twin-set Victorian townhouses with a total of 35 rooms, the first of which – Dunstane House – unveiled a new look in August 2017 following a six-month renovation project.The Dunstane Houses’ ‘Live Like a Royal’ package starts from £475 per night including the aforementioned activities on a B&B basis.
