A very stylish and very Scottish new address!

100 Princess Street is not yet the best hotel in the world, but it is on its way to becoming the best hotel in the world. The new place to be in Edinburgh.

With the arrival of Red Carnation, the establishment has benefited from a serious 100% Scottish-style facelift. The embellishment gives pride of place to tartan fabric patterns – here in green and blue.

On the stairs, murals pay tribute to the voyages of Scottish explorers to the four corners of the world, in India, Africa and Tibet, but also in Morocco and even Antarctica.

It is fitting that this establishment has an impressive collection of Rare Scottish whisky. When you have breakfast in the very comfortable dining room, your eyes inevitably rise to the ancient castle built in the Middle Ages on the remains of a volcano that erupted 350 million years ago.

Unless you head to Princes Street Gardens, whose flower beds sparkle with thousands of daffodils in spring.

The Red Carnation Hotel leaves nothing to chance: for the opening, an experienced executive from a South African institution was sent to Edinburgh to ensure that the excellence of service and attention to detail, which is the hallmark of this hotel group, is here too, executed to perfection. By staff dressed, originality is required, in Scottish fabrics with tartan patterns!
