subject: Holiday Inn Edinburgh [print this page] We at Holiday Inn have two Edinburgh conference venues, one near Edinburgh Zoo and the other at Craigleith, near the ferry terminal. Both offer excellent facilities for both business meetings and private functions, in one of the UKs top locations for tourism, education and commerce.
Edinburgh has a lively arts scene and a fascinating history and heritage, with dozens of tourist attractions, the most famous of which is Edinburgh Castle. The city also has a packed calendar of arts events throughout the year, and a large number of performers, musicians and after-dinner speakers have made their homes here. This gives you ample opportunity to give your meeting an individual edge.
We at Holiday Inn will happily arrange entertainment to complement your corporate event, either inside the hotel or elsewhere. The Military Tattoo, Edinburgh Festival and Hogmanay are all popular times for personnel to let their hair down, and theres no reason why you cant combine a serious conference with some light-hearted relief at any time of year.
Edinburgh is renowned for the quality and choice of shops, restaurants and pubs, and there are regular city tours both on foot and by bus to explore the city sights. Your staff can enjoy pleasant riverside rambles; hikes up Arthurs Seat(theres an annual Seven Hills of Edinburgh race for the ultra fit or foolhardy); the Royal Mile and Jacobs Ladder; Firth of Forth cruises and visits to museums and art galleries. Edinburgh Zoo, the Botanical Gardens and Edinburgh University also offer excellent scope for corporate hospitality, team-building and training events.
Some of Edinburghs best haunts are underground quite literally. Mary Kings Close and the South Street Vaults are fascinating and scary - both have been featured on paranormal programs like Most Haunted and TAPS. If youve booked meeting rooms for team-building exercises, a highlight would be a corporate tour with a ghost guide very different to classroom exercises in an airy, modern hotel!
Edinburgh has thousands of years of history which is still being created today. The second most visited city in the UK, it has been designated the most desirable place to live, and Britains most competitive city, with only London having a higher income per capita. Named Best Small City of the future for 2010/2011, it has an eclectic mix of employers. Education, finance, health, retailing, tourism and leisure are the main employment areas, with the economy mainly dependent on the services sector. The citys universities constantly churn out young entrepreneurs, and science and technology are well represented.
There is a constant need for well-equipped conference facilities in Edinburgh, and our meeting rooms are used for a variety of purposes. These include interviews, board meetings, conferences, charity events and private functions such as weddings. We can arrange both day delegate and residential packages, making us popular with local firms who want to invite foreign delegates over. Our Holiday Inn hotels in Edinburgh are within easy reach of the motorways, railways and airport, making us the number one choice both in the city and from the surrounding area.
