Job Description

The Balmoral is located at Edinburgh’s most prestigious address, No. 1 Princes Street, where the Old Town stops and the New Town begins. Our hotel’s majestic clock defines the city’s skyline and since the day we opened in 1902 it has run three minutes fast to ensure our guests will never miss their train.

The Position

Are you passionate about fine wine, top-shelf spirits, and exceptional cocktails, and interested in leading a team of talented Bartenders and Cocktail waiters? Then we invite you to join us as an Assistant Bar Manager at Rocco Forte Hotels.
