Edinburgh City Centre Hotel

Edinburgh is a cultural, sporting and shopping delight, and the Thistle Edinburgh, The King James hotel is the ideal base from which to explore the museums and art galleries, theatres and concert rooms, traditional pubs and sophisticated restaurants. For the sporty, there’s also Murrayfield, the national rugby stadium, whilst shopaholics couldn’t wish to find for more boutiques, department stores and brand names just a short stroll away.

WEDDINGS

Your choice of wedding venue is a huge decision. At The King James, we provide a completely bespoke wedding service, in which every aspect of your day, from the room layout to the wine list, food to flower arrangements, is yours to choose.

At The King James, we have eight air-conditioned function rooms, all of which can be arranged and configured to suit your exact requirements. The largest is the Lothian Suite, decorated in classic Scottish style, which seats up to 250 guests for an evening reception; it also has its own bar area, and can be divided into four smaller rooms - Forth, Newhaven, Trinity and Cramond - if you’re looking for something smaller.

The Holyrood is suitable for 30 guests for a wedding breakfast or 40 for your reception. And if you’re planning a private celebration with a few close friends and family, our recently refurbished Calton and Pentland rooms can seat up to 25 for civil ceremonies, or wedding breakfasts for just 12 guests.

Beautifully furnished in soft neutral tones, these light, airy rooms are located on the 6th floor, with large windows offering magnificent views across Calton Hill.
