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.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
