Win a luxury Edinburgh break worth up to £2,186 at 100 Princes Street

Imagine a stylish getaway in Scotland’s capital where comfort, design and hospitality come together for a memorable escape. The Sunday Times Where Was I? competition offers a two-night break for two at the elegant townhouse hotel located at 100 Princes Street in Edinburgh, in an Executive King room with breakfast each morning, wrapping you in a refined, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive.

Inside this celebrated Red Carnation Hotel Collection property, contemporary style meets classic charm. Bespoke tartans designed by Araminta Campbell adorn the spaces, while antiques and carefully chosen textiles create a sense of place that feels both luxurious and homely. The Wallace bar and restaurant sits at the heart of the hotel, offering a social, comfortable vibe that’s perfect for unwinding after exploring the city.

As part of the prize, you’ll also enjoy a three-course dinner for two (drinks not included) at the Wallace, a refined dining experience that showcases modern Scottish cuisine in an intimate setting. It’s the kind of evening that makes a city break feel special, with thoughtful touches and a sense of occasion in a beloved Edinburgh venue.

Edinburgh’s charm unfolds along the city’s streets and vantage points—from views across the castle to strolls along Princes Street Gardens. With two nights in a prime city-center location, you’ll have time to soak in the atmosphere, savor a leisurely breakfast, and maybe even pop out for a scenic wander before returning to your elegant room for a relaxed night’s sleep.

The overall value of the prize is up to £2,186, subject to dates and availability. The competition opened with the article’s publication and closes for entries on Thursday, 24 September 2026. Full terms and conditions apply, including booking windows and blackout dates, so you can plan a perfect Edinburgh experience around your travel dates. If luck smiles on you, you and a guest could be enjoying a memorable break in one of Scotland’s most beloved cities, surrounded by style, comfort and hospitality that makes this a truly special prize.

Travelers will enjoy the convenient location, with easy access to Edinburgh’s Old Town, the historic Royal Mile, and cultural attractions, plus the comfort of a modern, well-appointed room designed for a restful stay after a day of sightseeing and dining.
