100 Princes Street

We’ve stayed at incredible resorts and hotels across the world, from Four Seasons Bora Bora to The Ritz Paris to Breakers Palm Beach and dozens more in between. 100 Princes Street has been a top 5 stay for my wife and me, and beyond a shadow of a doubt, we will be back. Dario and his team treated me so well in educating me on whiskeys and giving me a truly special tasting experience. I was not well versed in the world of whiskey going into this trip, but I feel much more comfortable and confident going forward with whiskeys. We also greatly appreciated Gill who took care of us 3 out of 4 nights we were there. She made our experience a great one. Petra also was great about getting us a last minute NYE reservation at Bread Street Kitchen, a Sheepdog Demonstration, and a last minute Harry Potter walking tour. Thank you to the team for giving us an experience we won’t forget!

This hotel is one of the loveliest ove ever seen. I felt welcomed by the attentive and accommodating staff, in particulat Anais. I will definitely look forward to returning!

My wife and I recently enjoyed a three-night stay in Edinburgh at 100 Princes Street. This is a ~30-room boutique hotel that was very well appointed. Each room has a unique, tartan-forward decor with beautiful stone bathrooms (with heated towel bars and heated floors!) The room's walls are fabric-covered, so there was no detectable noise in our room (save the seagulls outside on our patio). Service levels were off the charts; the guest services team was outstanding and helpful with anything we needed. Our interactions with the staff were overwhelmingly positive. The location was walkable to everything we wanted to see. We enjoyed breakfast all three days. The menu is pretty extensive, food is very solid, and the views of the castle from the restaurant/bar were impressive. The whisky tasting was a highlight. Dario was fun, answered all of our questions, and helped us better refine our understanding of which whiskeys we enjoy most. Communication with Alistair and his team started about a month before arrival and conveyed a willingness to help us plan anything that we needed.

I don't usually write reviews but my stay at 100 Princes Street and the care and attention to detail was so exceptional I am writing one. I have been lucky enough to stay at some very special hotels over the years- but the service I received here was something extra special. From arrival to departure every single person who works there went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and cared for and to ensure everything was well organised and smoothly provided. All done in a friendly and informative way as if nothing was too much trouble. I felt entirely spoilt- and I was only staying one night but I was made to feel so welcome. The facilities and rooms are lovely and have a real heritage and luxury feel- and are also very clean and well thought out with lovely touches. I really enjoyed the central location and views of the castle and up to the Old Town. Whilst in the bar and restaurant at this time of year one is aware of the christmas market- but I didn't mind this as the hotel feels like a quiet sanctuary away from all the activity- and the rooms are utterly peaceful. I am not naming any particular employee because they really were all exceptional and lovely- thank you all for such a lovely short break. I really want to come back soon and was so blown away I have told many of my friends.

Everything was perfect. The team here sets the standard for what five star service means. Would absolutely stay again.
