Location on Princes Street

Premier Inn Edinburgh Princes Street is situated in the block just after the junction with South Charlotte Street. It is located towards the west end of Edinburgh's world-famous Princes Street, which has picturesque views of Edinburgh Castle. The hotel is located in New Town, built in response to the deterioration of the medieval Old Town in the 18th century, home to neoclassical masterpieces and rejuvenated Georgian townhouses with upscale boutiques and eateries. The front entrance is between New Look. Landmarks nearby include the Scott Monument (0.5 km), Edinburgh Castle (1 km), St Giles' Cathedral (1 km), Royal Mile (0.5 km), Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art One (2 km), Princes Street Gardens (0.3 km), Calton Hill (1 km), and Camera Obscura and World of Illusions (1 km). The Bonham is a stylish upscale property located within walking distance.

Hotel Services

The tiny door with a purple banner is the only thing marking the entrance. The front entrance into the hotel is between Starbucks and Bar & Block. Travelers familiar with the brand will recognize even every square inch of the hotel, from the purple color scheme to the Thyme restaurant, and even the coffee served. Take the lift to the 2nd floor.
