Edinburgh's Bross Bagels launches plush new hotel above Portobello shop

Larah Bross, the entrepreneur behind Edinburgh's ever-popular Bross Bagels chain, is launching an exciting new hotel experience in Portobello, where guests will enjoy a host of fun events including learning to make their very own delicious bagels alongside the expert team at Bross.

Located in her home town, the 'HOLEtel' will see people staying in a stunning penthouse apartment, located above Bross HQ.

Available to rent for the weekend with prices starting from £800 for two people, for two nights, the event runs from Friday to Sunday and, according to the Bross team, includes a host of one-off, money-can’t-buy experiences.

A first for the brand, the weekend stay will kick off with a Friday night dinner party, hosted by Larah herself, who will cook up some of her infamous recipes inspired by a combination of her Jewish-Canadian background, and her experience living in New York, with her passion for locally sourced Scottish ingredients.

On Saturday, Larah stated that those staying at the HOLEtel will have exclusive access to the 'HOLEY Bible' - a list of VIP experiences curated by Larah herself, including bespoke bonfire dinners on the beach by Civernos, VIP tables and drinks at Casablanca Cocktail Club, last minute tickets to the Playhouse, Johnnie Walker experiences and many more.

All of which, she explained, can be booked on the day or pre-booked in advance.

On Sunday morning, guests will take a trip downstairs to Bross HQ where they will learn the craft of making bagels in a masterclass led by the Bross expert team.

The guests will then put their skills to the test before taking home a pack of their homemade bagels to share with their friends and family at home.

Speaking about the new launch, Larah stated that bookings are by application only, adding that to apply, people should email holetel@brossbagels.com or contact them via the Holetel Instagram account.

She said: "Bross Bagels has always been about sharing my passion with others. The HOLEtel is taking it to the next level and offering up an opportunity to not only experience the hole of Bross Bagels but a unique weekend in the city I love."
