History
One of Edinburgh’s two turn-of-the-century Railway Hotels – the other being the Caledonian Hotel at the opposite end of Princes Street Gardens – forming massive bookends to Edinburgh’s central green space.
Formerly named the North British Hotel before the term fell out of favour (Scottish replaced North British).
Hadrian’s Brasserie has its entrance just round the corner onto North Bridge, or try the Balmoral Hotel’s No.1 Restaurant for a luxury dining experience.
