100 Princes Street

100 Princes Street occupies a restored historic townhouse on Edinburgh’s Princes Street, facing the gardens and looking directly towards Edinburgh Castle. The hotel is part of the Red Carnation Hotels collection and has the intimate scale of a private members’ club, with 29 individually designed rooms and suites shaped by Scottish references, tailored tartans, period details and contemporary comfort. Dining is centred on The Wallace, where Scottish dishes are served with a castle view, while Ghillie’s Pantry provides a more discreet setting for private dining and whisky tastings drawn from a collection of more than 100 bottles. The location is exceptionally practical for exploring the city: Princes Street Gardens and the Scottish National Gallery are nearby, with Waverley station, the Old Town and the Royal Mile all within walking distance. The mood is residential, richly layered and quietly sociable rather than conventionally grand.
