overview

The University of Edinburgh has a vast range of impressive historic and modern buildings that reflect it's 400-year history.
At Edinburgh First we bring these buildings to life as successful conference, dining and meeting venues that are full of Edinburgh's character and charm.

From our state-of-the-art conference facilities at the John McIntyre Conference Centre to the historic 15th century Playfair Library, Edinburgh First boasts more than 70 meeting rooms across 15 different venues. These also include selected tiered lecture theatres and fully equipped classrooms.

What's more, Edinburgh First also offers conference accommodation in the city. We have 160 hotel bedrooms available throughout the year plus an additional 2000 bedrooms during the summer months. We have private dining rooms, restaurants, bars and cafés too - as well as all of Edinburgh's attractions right on your doorstep - plenty of opportunities for post-conference team-building and networking.
