Scope and Content Palm Court lounge, the former North British Hotel, Princes Street, Edinburgh The North British Hotel, designed by Sir William Hamilton Beattie in a competition of 1895, was completed in 1902. Originally built as a North British Railway hotel, it became the Balmoral after extensive renovation in 1991 at a cost of £23 million. The hotel's main lounge, the Palm Court, was based on the style of a Greek hall. This large domed central room is decorated in a Neo-Classical style. The Palm Court lounge in a Victorian hotel was named after the palm-trees used as decoration, and often had a small band who played light popular music. Hotels would advertise their 'Magnificent Palm Court, complete with Orchestra'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
