Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh - The Caledonian, opened in Edinburgh in December 1903, is a notable example of the British tradition of Grand Railway Hotels. It stands at the west end of Princes Street, and is a category A listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=4 Lothian Road, The Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh - The Caledonian )〕 ==Construction== The Caledonian Hotel, constructed from 1899 to 1903 as part of Edinburgh Princes Street railway station, was conceived as a rival to the North British Hotel which opened at the other end of Princes Street in 1902.〔 The Caledonian Hotel was built on top of the stone built, V-shaped station building which had been recently built as a replacement for the previous wood built station which was damaged in a fire in June 1890.〔 The architects of the hotel were John More Dick Peddie and George Washington Browne.〔 When first built, the hotel had 205 rooms with decor in the style of Louis XV.〔 The grand arches at the front of the hotel provided access also to the train station below.〔 The red sandstone facade has been a city landmark throughout the hotel's history.〔 In 1965, Princes Street Station was closed and it was demolished by 1970. This provided room for expansion for the hotel and the cast iron gates at the entrance to a car park in Rutland Street are the only remainder of the station outwith the hotel.〔 The original station clock, pre-dating the fire of 1890, has been preserved in the hotel.〔
