Emma Fingal is creating room for romance this Valentine’s Day for couples to enjoy a ‘dreamy stay’, fine dining and a newly created ‘L’Amour Martini’ cocktail. (Read about our stay here)
Berthed on Edinburgh’s vibrant waterfront, Fingal has just been crowned one of the top 25 five-star hotels and restaurants in the UK and Northern Ireland by the internationally recognised Automobile Association (AA). The luxury floating hotel has sailed into the AA’s prestigious list of hotels and restaurants for the first time after being awarded the top five-star rating for the hotel and two AA Rosettes for its Lighthouse Restaurant.
Re-launched as a luxury hotel in 2019, the former Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) tender is owned and operated by the award-winning team at The Royal Yacht Britannia.
Fingal’s ultimate Valentine’s package includes a private luxury cabin for couples to share a ‘dreamy’ overnight stay, evening dinner, cocktails and breakfast in Fingal’s Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar, as well as a bouquet of fresh flowers and a selection of handmade chocolates created by Fingal’s own Executive Pastry Chef waiting in your cabin on arrival.
