100 Princes Street Cosy Double Room 406

Feel safe, seen, and at home

Solo Travel

Whether you're treating yourself to a peaceful city break, exploring Edinburgh’s rich history, or simply craving time for yourself – 100 Princes Street is your perfect base. Tucked away in the elegant New Town and overlooking the castle, our intimate boutique hotel offers everything solo travellers look for: privacy, security, comfort, and meaningful experiences. 

A space that puts you at ease

With just 30 beautifully designed rooms and suites and a strict guest-only access policy, the atmosphere here is calm, personal and discreet. Guests travelling on their own feel safe and secure, all within walking distance of the city’s cultural landmarks.

Our dedicated team will remember your name, your coffee order, and exactly how you like to spend your day. And if you're staying in one of our Single Rooms, you’ll find a queen or double bed, luxurious linens, and thoughtful touches to help you unwind and feel at home. 

Golden hour view of Edinburgh

Explore with confidence

We’ve partnered with Gwen Kinghorn, founder of Edinburgh Private Walking Tours. Gwen’s tours are more than just sightseeing; her warm, passionate, and engaging style, deep knowledge of the city's history, and a sense of companionship and cultural connection combine to make these tours ideal for solo travellers who want to explore with confidence.

These tours are also a favourite with solo parents travelling with children, offering a thoughtfully paced, story-rich way to explore the city. They keep younger travellers engaged while giving parents the opportunity to connect, unwind, and create lasting family memories - away from technology, screens and day-to-day distractions.
