About us

Walk the length of George Street from our sister property and you’ll come to The Principal Edinburgh Charlotte Square. The hotel is one of several smart addresses on a UNESCO World Heritage site comprising seven, inter-connecting townhouses, as well as a purpose-built block of bedrooms. The hotel has recently been refurbished from top to toe, to designs by the award-winning team at Goddard Littlefair. In addition to 199 guest rooms and suites, the hotel has refurbished dining and event space; The SPA at Principal, utilising both Oskia and Ishga brands; The Garden, a glazed courtyard serving a light menu of all-day food, afternoon tea and evening cocktails; and Baba, a Levantine-influenced restaurant.

Your day to day

The Garden is all about bringing the outside in. A place to retreat and enjoy the simpler pleasures in life. This is a magical room that can be used every day as well as for special occasions. A gentle oasis from the hum drum of everyday life. This space will be used as the ‘traditional’ hotel lobby space that can be used all day as a place to eat, drink, meet and enjoy. We have a new vacancy in The Garden! We are looking for a person to assist in the set up and close down of this space and be the first point of contact for colleagues and guests during service if any issues were to arise. The successful candidate must have passion for food and The Garden. The ideal person must possess the drive and determination to establish The Garden as a destination restaurant and bar in its own right as well as passion for it to continue as the heart of Principal Charlotte Square.
