• 100% food waste composting
• 100% recycling, re-using, repurposing & plastic-free

Award-winning venue

For over 20 years, we’ve been hosting meetings, conferences & events from our iconic setting beside Edinburgh Castle, at the top of The Royal Mile, in the Old Town UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Castlehill Room is the largest of our eight whisky themed event spaces, hosting up to 80 delegates, theatre or banquet style. It is bright, spacious and versatile, with direct access to flexible break-out areas. A striking stained glass window, which floods the room with natural daylight, complements high ceilings, exposed wooden beams and chandeliers handcrafted from reclaimed whisky barrels.

Award-winning Scottish flavours

Our internationally-acclaimed chefs love tantalising tastebuds with seasonally inspired Scottish dishes served with a modern twist. Our ingredients are sourced locally, wherever possible, and always prepared in-house, to showcase the very best of Scotland’s natural larder.

Award-winning service

Crafting the perfect event, like crafting the perfect Scotch whisky, requires expertise and attention to detail. When you book with us, a senior member of our events team will be on hand every step of the way, providing support and advice, and helping fine-tune your event.

We’re fully accessible & inclusive
