Bank Hotel building: photo © adrian welch Former British Linen Bank 1923 Architect: Walker Todd Redevelopment as Bank Hotel 1992 Architect: Rob Hunter Developer: Kantel Address: 1-3 South Bridge, Edinburgh Contact: +44 (0)131 556 9940 Location: corner of South Bridge/Royal Mile, centre of Old Town photo © adrian welch 230207 with lumix camera South Bridge was originally designed by Robert Adam but executed by Kay, it is slightly down-at-heel but look up and you can see a variety of neoclassical facades and gable ends that somehow manage to talk to each other. The Bank Hotel forms the most northern of the South Bridge gables and is certainly the most expressive with an expressed portico and a solid rusticated base. It forms a ceremonial bookend to a thin but towering slab of Old Town buildings, a contrast to the rubble walls visible down its east side.
