Tigerlily can host a business meeting for 4 to 100 people, a group dinner, a cocktail masterclass for up to 50 or a full venue hire of up to 230 seated and 700 standing, with hotel rooms upstairs. The boutique hotel, bar and restaurant stands at 125 George Street in Edinburgh's New Town and is run by the Montpeliers Group.
Seminars and company events
Meeting spaces suit groups of 4 to 100 people. A TV screen, a projector and a microphone are available on request, and the team helps choose between private and semi-private areas according to the size and tone of the group. For a team evening, the venue runs 90-minute cocktail classes for a minimum of 10 guests in Coco Boho, its downstairs function suite. It also sells a package called Tigerlily Takeover, which combines an overnight stay for a minimum of five rooms, a cocktail demonstration in Lulu, a three-course dinner and a bottle of Prosecco. That format works for a small leadership team or a client group that wants a full evening without moving between venues.
Rooms and capacities
The Sitting Room, the most richly decorated space in the building, hosts buffet-style afternoon tea parties. Coco Boho, downstairs, takes up to 50 guests for cocktail masterclasses and private functions. Lulu hosts the cocktail demonstrations. For the largest events, such as a product launch, an awards night or a festive party, the whole venue can be hired for up to 230 seated or 700 standing. Facilities include an outdoor terrace, a smoking room and a full PA system. Minimum spends apply to private areas, and the team gives details on request.
Accommodation
Tigerlily has boutique hotel rooms on site, so speakers and guests can stay in the same building as the event. The website gives two different room counts, ten on the home page and 33 on the groups page, so confirm the number of rooms available for your dates before planning a residential program.
Catering
Food and drink are prepared in house. Groups can choose seasonal three-course set menus, a buffet-style afternoon tea, or drinks and nibbles for anything from a small party to a corporate reception. The bar and restaurant can also be hired in full. Sample menus are available from the events team, and festive menus run during the Christmas season.
History and setting
George Street runs through the center of Edinburgh's New Town, the Georgian grid laid out in the late 18th century between Princes Street and Queen Street, and it is lined with banks, offices, shops and restaurants. Tigerlily presents itself as the original landmark of the street. Its interiors lean toward color and pattern rather than a plain business setting, which suits a launch party, a client dinner or a celebration after a conference held elsewhere in the city.
Getting there
Edinburgh Waverley station, with trains from London King's Cross, Glasgow and the north, is about a 15-minute walk away, and Haymarket station is a similar distance to the west. Trams to Edinburgh Airport stop on Princes Street and at St Andrew Square, a few minutes from the hotel.
