"A contemporary hotel in Edinburgh offering modern amenities and a central location." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A handsome townhouse built for Scottish politician Sir John Clark of Penicuik, 100 Princes Street was turned into a hotel in the 19th century, as the Scottish capital took off as a destination for Victorian travelers. A couple of hundred years later, the Georgian space on one of Edinburgh’s best-known thoroughfares was renovated by Red Carnation Hotels (also behind Ireland’s Ashford Castle), with interiors inspired by designer Alexander McQueen. Most of the rooms overlook Edinburgh Castle, the city’s biggest hitting landmark, but we’re most excited by the 200-strong fine wine wall from the family-owned vineyard Bouchard Finlayson."
"On the city’s most iconic street and in the shadow of its hilltop castle, 100 Princes Street is set to bring new life to a centuries-old address. Honoring heritage and craftsmanship, renovations have been respectful yet progressive with a sense of style and sophistication. Divulging no secrets from the outside, checking in here has a feeling akin to that of slipping off the street into an exclusive member’s club, where staff know you by name and your every need is anticipated. In short, it makes Edinburgh feel like home."
"Discreetly hidden away at the address that gives it its name, 100 Princes Street in fact benefits from an enviable location in Edinburgh’s New Town, with a direct view up the hill at Edinburgh Castle (and a block away from the Royal Scottish Academy). This is a modern classic — 30 rooms and suites, each different, all decorated in a variety of tartans and Georgian-era antiques. And in some ways it feels rather more like a private club than a mere hotel, with service that’s personal but also highly professional. The Wallace serves high-end Scottish classics and Ghillie’s Pantry is stocked with more than a hundred whiskies." - Tablet Hotels
