Scope and Content Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza (formerly Scandic Crown Hotel), High Street, Edinburgh The Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza, a mock medieval tenement built in 1990, filled a vacant site in the High Street called 'Grant's gap-site' created when 18th-century buildings were demolished in 1970. The hotel, in Scottish vernacular style, incorporates three Closes, Melrose, Cant's and Dickson's, the latter forming its entrance. It is primarily a 250 bedroom hotel but displays some of the rich colour, vitality and tradition of the Old Town. Originally, each house and garden bordering High Street formed a 'close' or enclosure. With the growth of population, gardens were built on, and the name 'close' was given to the lanes leading to them. Each close was named after its most famous resident.
