An Exclusive Scottish Members' Club Sanctuary
Setting a bold new benchmark in Scottish luxury hospitality, 100 Princes Street is an exquisitely restored boutique retreat located directly opposite Edinburgh Castle along the city's most storied thoroughfare.
Occupying the century-old former headquarters of the Royal Overseas League, this intimate 30-room hotel was reborn following a meticulous multi-million-pound transformation by Red Carnation Hotels. Inspired by the daring journeys of historic Scottish botanists and explorers, 100 Princes Street captures the cozy, exclusive ambiance of an elite private members' club where heritage, warmth, and peerless craftsmanship converge.
Every room and suite is an homage to Scottish decorative artistry, appointed with custom tartans designed by acclaimed weaver Araminta Campbell, warm timber paneling, brass fittings, and plush velvet furnishings. Looking out through floor-to-ceiling sash windows, guests enjoy direct, unobstructed panoramic vistas of Edinburgh Castle perched majestically upon its ancient volcanic crag.
