100 Princes Street

Overview

100 Princes Street is The Red Carnation Hotel Collection's first Scotland property, deftly combining Scottish heritage and deluxe creature comforts.

Echoing the adventures of Scottish explorers who once called this building their home-away-from-home, the hotel is set within the historic former Overseas League in Edinburgh’s cultural heart, a stone’s throw from the National Gallery and facing Edinburgh Castle. Waverly Station is a short, level walk from the hotel, making it an ideal base for discovering Edinburgh. Evocative of a chic private members’ club, 100 Princes Street was exquisitely designed by the Tollman family to provide a wealth of 21st-century luxuries, from the 29 individually designed rooms and magnificent suites, to the central staircase’s eye-catching, hand-painted mural by Croxford & Saunders. The Wallace is the heart and soul of 100 Princes Street, a plush all-day lounge, dining room, well-stocked bar, library, and tasting room. As with all Red Carnation Hotels, 100 Princes Street is dedicated to the “anything, anytime” approach to hospitality.

Rebecca Recommends Secrets

We are so excited that the Red Carnation Hotel Collection will open a hotel in Scotland for the first time. The original building and its iconic features will be respectfully renovated, transforming it into an exclusive retreat on Edinburgh’s most famous street with uninterrupted views of Edinburgh Castle. We can’t wait to see one of the most anticipated hotel openings of 2022.

Combination Stay/Why Visit?

Exceptional views of Edinburgh Castle with inspired design that honors the adventures of the great Scottish explorers – 100 Princes Street is situated in the heart of Edinburgh and offers the perfect base to explore this stunning city.

Just 4 hours on a train from central London, 100 Princes Street can be combined with any Red Carnation London hotel stay for the most perfect London and Edinburgh City visit. If clients prefer to stop midway, the walled city of York is just 2 hours by train, and Middlethorpe Hall provides a wonderful hotel for visitors who want to explore the historical city of York with its Roman and Viking heritage.

For clients wishing to head to the Highlands of Scotland, why not incorporate a stay at The Torridon in Wester Ross.
