THE MAYBURY
Entertainment on the grand scale returns to Edinburgh with the relaunching of The Maybury, the Thirties‘ white concrete cruise liner moored at the whirlpool ot trallic where the Maybury Road meets the Glasgow 5
Road.
The Maybury was built in 1936 to cater for the growing car-owning public, and it stands as a memorial to that short, optimistic age belore the war, when the leisure market expanded and big was bountiful. Re-opened in July, it has been marvellously restored by owners, Welcome lnns, at a cost of nearly £2 million, and offers stylish eating, drinking and dancing as well as catering for the conference and
wedding brigade.

l Dazzling glass and chrome meet the 3 eye in the foyer bar, accessed through
the monumental car radiator which serves as an entrance. Much of the art deco interior is original, and alterations, like the Busby Berkeley stairway in the ballroom, have been done with tremendous care for period detail. The Maybury, with its capacity to cater for parties of up to a thousand, its suites, its six bars, cinema and chapel, is guaranteed success in the special occasions‘ market; but it is definitely worth a visit to sample dinner in the pleasant balcony restaurant, to breakfast in style and for the aura of well-polished period calm.
