The Edinburgh International Conference Centre and venue-finding agency ExecSpace have collaborated on a new hotel booking platform in Edinburgh.

The service is powered by HotelMap and is designed to make it easier for anyone attending conferences at the EICC to find somewhere to stay. The new service is on the EICC website now, offering a way to book accommodation in the capital, while ExecSpace will identify space for conference or meeting rooms. Hotels covered include any within eight miles of the EICC and cover all price ranges. It is not only conference delegates who will benefit from the service which is also open to everyone involved in the organisation and will point users to best transport links.

Carron Webster, Sales and Marketing Director, EICC said: “Access to accommodation is a critical factor in securing and delivering major events. Through our partnership with ExecSpace and HotelMap, this platform provides a more coordinated, city-wide solution for individual bookings, while our partner, ExecSpace, works with us directly to support larger room allocations. Together, this creates a more seamless approach for organisers and visitors and strengthens Edinburgh’s ability to compete as a global events destination.”

ExecSpace MD, Lucy McNicoll, said: “We know that securing accommodation can be one of the largest challenges when organising conferences and major events in key cities. This platform has been designed to simplify that process, giving delegates and organisers a single, trusted place to find and book accommodation across the city. Enabling us to provide an enhanced overall experience for visitors while supporting our hotel partners and local Edinburgh businesses that may not have access to discounted hotel pricing.”
