Last Thursday saw over 250 people attend the launch of Market Street Hotel and Nor Loft - Edinburghs newest boutique hotel. Market Street Hotel boasts 98 beautiful rooms, each taking in unique views of Old Town, and a rooftop bar that already seems to be the latest Edi hotspot.
I was invited along to the launch and was very very kindly given a room so I could fully enjoy the launch party. I was so excited to get to the hotel after work on Thursday that I got an Uber even though it was a 15 minute walk (I hate myself). Upon arriving I saw the lovely team at Stripe who were the PR team heading up the event, they gave me my room key and I headed upstairs. As you can see from the images the room was a beauty and had the most incredible views I've ever seen from a hotel anywhere.
I jumped in the shower, wrapped myself in the hotel dressing gown and opened a beer from the (fully complimentary) mini bar. It's safe to say I didn't want to move from my bed but after eating my second tea cake and drinking my third beer it was time to get ready.

Something that I found way too exciting was that in the hotel room was a hairdryer, a diffuser and a pair of GHDs?! What! Too glam, absolutely loved it.
I got ready in record time when I realised Daniel was already downstairs.
I wore a mens blazer as a dress with a roll neck under it, a chunky belt and some strappy heels.
As I reached the 7th floor in the lift I could hear the buzz from 3 floors down - I reached Nor Loft where the party itself was happening and before I knew it I had a glass of champagne in my hand and was listening to an amazing choir serenading us all.
This is where my content from the night grinds to a halt which I think is a sign of a good night. I was enjoying myself too much to be taking pictures but take my word for it it was a goodun. We spent the night drifting between Nor Loft and one of the suites that had a terrace with the most incredible views. I finished the night off by ordering a huge Dominoes and taking myself back to my gorgeous room.
I headed down for breakfast the next day just after 9am and Nor Loft looked even more gorgeous in the morning light than it did the night before. I had eggs on toast and copious amounts of orange juice before I had to head off to start work at 10am.
A huge thank you to the team at Market Street Hotel and Stripe for an amazing event and for giving me a bed for the night!
