100 Princes Street

Stepping over the threshold of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection’s 100 Princes Street, you wouldn’t be off base for thinking you’ve just walked into a centuries-old members club. Set along Edinburgh’s coveted Princes Street, this 2024-debuted boutique hotel draws design inspiration from its former life as the headquarters for the Royal Over-Seas League, a members club founded in 1910. Oil paintings depict gigantic ships at sea, while gilded 18th- and 19th-century lookalike furnishings dot tartan-clad rooms outfitted with intricately carved fireplaces.This meticulous attention to detail helps ensure the property maintains its Old World gentlemen’s club atmosphere while continuing to cater to discerning travelers of the modern era. Whiskey tastings, afternoon tea and Scottish comfort classics are all on the menu at 100 Princes Street, as are stunning views of Edinburgh Castle from just about every room.
