Red Carnation Hotel Collection has confirmed plans to open a hotel in Scotland for the first time. The luxury hotel collection said it will “respectfully renovate” 100 Princes Street, transforming the current building into a “highly exclusive retreat on Edinburgh’s most famous street”.

InterContinental Hotels Group has opened the first Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in Scotland, Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel, as it continues to invest in Scotland as a luxury destination. Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel is in one of Edinburgh’s most beautiful squares in the Georgian New Town, a UNESCO world heritage site. With a view of Edinburgh Castle and historic hotspots just a short walk away, the hotel is at the perfect intersection between old and new. The 184 rooms and 15 suites are part of seven interconnecting Georgian townhouses which showcase Kimpton’s bold and playful design.

Much more than a lodging, Gleneagles is a way of life, as shown by the over-65% of guests who return to stay again and again and by the fact that there are over 2,000 local members who come, sometimes many kilometres, to the 343-hectare estate for its golf courses, dozens of other sports and for the wellness facilities.
