Scottish hotel named as one of world's 'best places to stay' by renowned magazine

A SCOTTISH hotel has been named as one of the “best places to stay” in the world by a renowned magazine.

On Thursday, Time unveiled its annual list of the top hotels, attractions and holiday destinations across the globe.

In total, 100 places are included on the list, from Antarctica to Kenya and one of the destinations to feature can be found in the Scottish capital.

Following a major renovation, 100 Princes Street in Edinburgh has been named on the list after opening its doors earlier this year.

The only Scottish entry on the list, it received praise for its “meticulous” restoration works.

Time wrote: “Designer Toni Tollman and team meticulously restored and styled the new 30-room boutique hotel to channel the spirit of the Scottish explorers who once gathered here, inviting guests on a journey of their own.

“A vast, hand-painted mural celebrating pioneering Scottish globetrotters unfolds across the length of the five-story lobby staircase, and is crowned by a chandelier of a hot air-balloon.

“The adventure continues through the singular rooms, which reveal a tapestry of rich woods, nautical elements and custom tartans by the acclaimed weaver Araminta Campbell.

“Sumptuous, high-ceilinged signature suites are named after Scottish adventurers Isobel Wylie Hutchison and Archibald Menzies.”

The hotel features 30 rooms and suites in total and is also home to The Wallace, a dining room and bar where guests can enjoy a curated food and drink menu from chef Willhelm Maree.

Elsewhere, Ghillie’s Pantry is a private room stocked with more than 100 whiskies that can be rented out for family gatherings and dinner parties.
