The Murrayfield Hotel in Edinburgh can host workshops, meetings, private dinners and weddings in two private rooms, for groups from 14 up to about 60 guests. A dedicated events planner handles each booking, which suits organisers who want one contact for rooms, food and timing.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents corporate events as one of its core uses. The Doocot is the smaller of the two rooms and is described for meetings, workshops and private dinners, with a stated range of 18 to 35 guests. The Forrester Suite has flexible layouts and a stated range of 14 to 70 guests, although the hotel gives a maximum of 60 across its event spaces elsewhere on its site: 50 seated or 60 standing. Plan a seminar around those lower figures and confirm the exact number for your layout with the events planner.
Both rooms are private and each has a large-screen smart TV, which is enough for presentations, remote participants or a short working session. The hotel does not list a projector, breakout rooms or a full conference package, so ask about any technical need before you commit.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel hosts weddings in an intimate format or in a larger one. It says it has the experience and the suppliers to help couples plan the day. A wedding page on the site gives the offer in more detail, but it does not state capacities or packages, so a couple should ask for these in the first message.
Other gatherings listed include baby showers with afternoon tea, remembrance gatherings, and hen and stag parties.
Rooms and capacities
The Doocot suits 18 to 35 people. The Forrester Suite suits 14 to 70 people by the room's own listing, and the hotel states a general ceiling of 60 guests, with 50 seated. For a seated seminar or dinner, treat 50 as the practical top figure. For a standing reception, 60.
Catering
Private dining is available in The Doocot Private Dining Room and in The Forrester Restaurant. Afternoon tea can be arranged for daytime celebrations. The hotel does not publish event menus on the pages we reviewed, so ask for a proposal that matches your headcount and dietary needs.
Accommodation
The hotel has bedrooms and offers overnight stays, including a Sunday package with dinner and a Scottish breakfast. The number of bedrooms is not published. If your guests need to stay on site, ask how many rooms can be held for your dates.
Getting there
The hotel is at 18 Corstorphine Road, Edinburgh EH12 6HN, minutes from Edinburgh Haymarket station, which has trains to Waverley and beyond. Regular buses connect the area with Edinburgh Airport.
