At the heart of Edinburgh City centre the iconic Edinburgh Castle, looking down onto Princes Street to one side and the Grassmarket to the other, dominates the city skyline, making it the perfect venue for a corporate event to impress.
The lofty ceilings and double tier of windows in the Queen Anne Room, coupled with neutral decorating and stunning yet simple light fittings strike a beautiful balance between contemporary and modern giving the room the ability to adapt to a multitude of themes.
The Jacobite Room, with unparalleled views across the city, is bathed in light by day and transforms into a warm and elegant space by night which, coupled with the adjoining Redcoat Room, allows for a seamless transition between a drinks reception and a banquet or dinner.
The Gatehouse Suite provides a more intimate setting than the Castle’s other areas. The wood paneled main room of the suite comfortably seats 20 for dinner or a boardroom meeting and has its own ante-room. The outside terrace has views across The Pentlands, creating a stunning backdrop for a drinks reception or bridal photographs to make for a truly memorable event.
In addition to the above, a booking gives the unique opportunity for a private viewing of Scotland’s Crown Jewels and Stone of Destiny and if that doesn’t impress your guests we can’t think of what will.
Being at the centre of the city, Edinburgh Castle is easily reached from the airport and Waverley Station, but also has parking right on its doorstep on The Esplanade.
