Scope and Content Palace Hotel, Nos 113-17 Princes Street, Edinburgh Princes Street was originally the south-facing terrace of James Craig's New Town. From the 1830s, Victorian reconstruction transformed the street into Edinburgh's principal thoroughfare of hotels, department stores, shops, offices and clubs. The huge five-storeyed Palace Hotel was designed by the hotel specialist, James Macintyre Henry, in 1888. It formed a picturesque building at the Castle Street corner until it was destroyed by fire in 1991. The Palace Hotel was constructed from the original plain-fronted Georgian houses on the site by adding bay-windows to the first three storeys, and then building up to five storeys in height, and adding an attic storey and pyramidal towers.
