Restored Georgian townhouse hotel with large event space and private cinema in central Edinburgh

Spread across eleven beautifully restored Georgian townhouses in Haymarket, this hotel sits in one of Edinburgh's most walkable pockets: a quiet residential stretch that is still only a short stroll from the West End, Princes Street, the Old Town and the castle. It gives teams a city base with real character, where evenings can spill out into the neighbourhood or stay firmly in-house.

There are 214 bedrooms, all designed around the Georgian character of the building and finished with warm, thoughtful details.

Meeting spaces are flexible. Four interconnecting rooms sit on one floor, the smallest taking 12 around a boardroom table, with the others scaling up through 14, 30 and 50 theatre-style. A smaller team can take a single room, or spread across the whole floor for up to 116. They all open onto a stocked kitchen that turns into a private bar in the evening, which makes it an easy set up for a day of sessions that rolls into drinks.

For larger gatherings, the main event space holds up to 250 theatre-style or 170 for a seated dinner, with its own bar, a stage and a glass atrium overhead.

An intimate on-site cinema is a genuine bonus for group agendas, whether that is a screening, a presentation or somewhere to gather after dinner. The Water of Leith walkway offers an easy green escape from the centre.

Food and drink centres on an Italian-inspired restaurant with an open kitchen, cooking classic dishes with Scottish produce, plus a lobby bar that feels like the living room of a very well-dressed townhouse - an easy default for a group's first night.
