Business districts and meeting room locations
New Town concentrates the majority of Edinburgh's professional meeting spaces. George Street and its adjacent streets house numerous equipped rooms, easily accessible from Waverley Station located less than 10 minutes' walk away. The Lothian Road financial district also offers several options, particularly suited for meetings between service professionals.
Old Town offers a more distinctive setting with rooms located near the Royal Mile and Grassmarket. These spaces combine Edinburgh's historic charm with modern equipment. Canongate and its surroundings house several training centres, ideal for corporate seminars.
Leith, Edinburgh's port, is developing its flexible workspace offering. This rapidly transforming district offers generally more attractive rates than the city centre, while remaining well connected by public transport.
