At The Auction Rooms, we offer premium meeting rooms for hire in Edinburgh, that are designed to inspire and empower professionals. 

Let’s explore why choosing the right meeting room matters, and what to look for when booking your next meeting space in Edinburgh.

Impress Clients with a Premium Meeting Room

First impressions count, especially in business. Choosing the right space can make a huge difference. Meeting rooms like The New Town Boardroom and The Whisky Room offer sleek interiors, advanced technology, and a prestigious central Edinburgh location. Selecting a professional and well-appointed meeting room signals to client that you value their business, fostering trust from the outset.

According to the ‘British Council for Offices’ report on “Defining and Measuring Productivity in Offices,” the design and environment of an office space, including meeting rooms, play a crucial role in productivity and employee engagement. A well-designed space can positively influence how clients and employees perceive a business.

When booking a meeting room in Edinburgh, choosing a convenient location is key. The Auction Rooms offers centrally located meeting rooms in Edinburgh’s New Town, providing easy access to public transport such as Waverly Train Station, parking, and an abundance of nearby cafes and restaurants. According to CBRE’s report on hybrid work, location is increasingly critical as professionals prioritise accessibility and convenience in their workspace choices. A well-located meeting room shows your team and clients that you respect their time and comfort.
