IHG Hotels & Resorts has opened the doors to Garner Hotel Edinburgh, Haymarket. Located in the heart of the city’s West End, the 195-room flagship introduces the fast-growing Garner Hotels brand to Scotland, marking a key step in the brand’s expansion across Europe.
A Prime Festival-Time Launch
Positioned directly across from Haymarket Station, with easy access to Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street, the hotel is ideally placed for festivalgoers and business travellers alike. Guests can enjoy modern rooms, plush bedding, black-out blinds, convenient parking, and a grab-and-go breakfast, perfect for long festival days.
A Brand Built for Value and Comfort
Garner Hotels, launched in 2023, focus on delivering reliable quality stays that balance essential comfort with thoughtful touches. “This new opening is all about simplicity, value, and comfort,” said Joanna Kurowska, Managing Director, UK & Ireland, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “There’s no better city than Edinburgh to showcase the brand’s energy.”
The hotel also features an in-lobby Garner Shop stocked with snacks and travel essentials, offering guests 24/7 convenience.
A Local Partnership for a True Scottish Welcome
Adding local charm to the experience, Garner Hotel Edinburgh – Haymarket has partnered with Platform 5, a neighbouring favourite, to provide hearty sit-down breakfast options and exclusive food and drink discounts for guests.
