Perched in New Town, initially built response to the deterioration of the medieval Old Town in the 18th century, nearly 25 minutes' walk from Dynamic Earth Interactive Science Museum, the comfortable 100 Princes Street Edinburgh hotel offers 4 car parking spaces. Located within reach of Royal Mile, the 5-star smoke-free hotel boasts Scottish cuisine served at the onsite à la carte restaurant.

Location

A prime location in the very heart of Edinburgh gives guests direct access to the historic fortress "Edinburgh Castle", which is merely 0.9 km away. The Princes Edinburgh is also around 400 metres from the art museum "Scottish National Gallery" and about a 5-minute drive from Calton Hill.

Nature lovers might as well enjoy the vicinity to Calton Craigs, located just a 13-minute walk away. Entertainment in the area includes the beautifully restored art-deco Edinburgh Festival Theatre not far from this Edinburgh hotel.

Queensferry Street bus stop is a mere 0.6 km from the Princes.

Rooms

The air-conditioned rooms comprise a sitting area and a living room featuring a flat-screen TV with satellite channels along with blackout drapes and air conditioning. Furnished with a writing table, the rooms also have a minibar, coffee and tea makers. Equipped with a separate toilet and a shower, the modern bathrooms have a hairdryer and dressing gowns. The rooms at 100 Princes Street hotel also offer panoramic views of the old town.

Eat & Drink

Guests can try high tea, usually served at one of the on-site restaurants, for example at Wallace. The lounge bar provides you with a place to unwind.

“From what I gather, 100 Princes Street seems to genuinely understand hospitality, delivering on high standards with incredible staff, excellent food, and a location that places Edinburgh's cultural heart at your doorstep. Its magnificent views of Edinburgh Castle, alongside member-exclusive lounges, certainly set it apart; it's the kind of place where the modern blends seamlessly with a rich history. If you appreciate being treated like royalty, this may well be your ideal Edinburgh stay.”

Guests consistently praise the hotel's exquisite and tasteful decor, with many rooms offering incredible views of Edinburgh Castle. The hotel's central location provides easy access to major attractions. Some guests have found certain rooms, particularly the executive doubles, to be quite small. Breakfast is a delightful experience, and the mural on the stairway is a real eye opener.

The staff demonstrated vast knowledge of the city. They were helpful before my visit. I saw many beautiful city sights in my four days. The Wallace lounge bar had AMAZING food!!! I was happy to eat from the menu in the hotel every night.
The valet service returned my car covered in dust. It required a wash. This was a SLIGHT inconvenience.

exquisite stay!

warm welcome complimentary champagne handwritten note
The staff greeted us immediately upon arrival and managed our luggage carefully. i particularly enjoyed the complimentary champagne we had in the wallace restaurant. the room had a handwritten note and cake, commemorating our anniversary. That was a beautiful touch.
during my stay, i noticed that there wasn't any parking available directly in front of the hotel. this absence of immediate parking was a slight inconvenience upon arrival, i must say.
