Tynecastle Park Hotel, situated in the main stand at Tynecastle, opens for business on February 3 offering 25 stylish rooms, a club lounge and matchday experiences.
Prices are from £90 and the owners aim to give guests more than just a good night’s sleep. It is claimed to be the UK’s first club-owned and operated hotel.
You can stay in the Plaza, named after the Foundation Plaza at the front of the stand in McLeod Street, the Roseburn and Accessible, both advertised from £117, and also the executive from £180.
There is also a family room, two adjacent rooms sharing an interconnecting door. These air-conditioned rooms are fitted with an extra large Emperor bed and can be reversed as a double or twin to suit client needs.
The promotional material says: “We strive to exceed your expectations with our personal approach to hospitality and we want to leave you with lasting memories.
“If you’re here because you’re a Heart of Midlothian fan, then it doesn’t get any better. Tynecastle Park Hotel is the perfect setting for you to enjoy a special weekend at home away from home.
“We’ve got the Ultimate Matchday Experience lined up for you to enjoy, with a stadium tour, museum visit and the club shop on your doorstep.”
If guests are a visitor to Edinburgh, then Tynecastle Park provides an excellent base from which to explore. The promotional material says: “We’re within walking distance of Haymarket Station, with excellent transport links to the city centre and the airport. You are also a stone’s throw from several major event venues, including Murrayfield and the O2 Academy.”
