Our 195-room flagship hotel will be bringing a fresh energy to the city’s West End ahead of Scotland’s vibrant this summer festival season. This property opens in partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), a global leader in hospitality.
Located directly opposite Haymarket Station and just steps from Edinburgh Castle, the EICC, Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh Zoo, and Princes Street, this convenient new hotel is the latest addition to IHG Hotels & Resorts’ fast-growing midscale conversion brand, Garner Hotels, launched in 2023 and rapidly expanding across Europe.
Garner Hotel Haymarket Edinburgh aligns with the brand’s ethos of offering reliable, quality stays with essential comforts. Garner hotels have an unrivalled commitment to deliver what guests expect and the amenities they value most. From a convenient location, a great night’s sleep, satisfying snacks available from the Garner Shop in the lobby area and a delicious breakfast worth getting up for.
This milestone marks a new era in Scottish hospitality, delivering the perfect balance of comfort, quality, and value for our guests.
The hotel remains dedicated to social responsibility, continuing its longstanding efforts to support those in need. Since the pandemic, it has partnered with the City of Edinburgh Council and Bethany Trust to provide temporary accommodation.
With its relaunch as part of Garner Hotels, the property will donate £1 per guest stay for a limited time to Action Against Hunger, aligning with IHG’s multi-year partnership to combat food insecurity and hunger worldwide.
In line with IHG’s “Journey to Tomorrow” responsible business plan, the hotel will incorporate Verdant’s VX4 Smart Thermostats by Copeland. These AI-driven systems optimise energy efficiency by adjusting HVAC usage based on occupancy sensors, ensuring a balanced approach to both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
