The central location of The New Club, with an unbroken view over Princes Street Gardens and Edinburgh Castle, provides an ideal setting for staying, dining and entertaining, combining the comfort and style of a long-established Club.
The Club's earliest records date
from
1787 when it met in Bayle's Tavern in Shakespeare Square at the east
end of Princes Street. The Club then acquired its own premises in St.
Andrew Square before moving to its present site in 1837. Today's
building dates from 1969.
Today CCTV
maintains a discreet watch over the public.

‘Frost also
rubs shoulders with the
establishment figures who dominate the exclusive New Club in
Edinburgh's Princes Street. Yet being a fairly gruff
Englishman, born in Stafford and raised in Lancashire, he is aware
that he is very much the outsider. That seems to suit him, for he is
often to be found crossing swords in court with those he sits beside
at lunch.’
