Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital, based in the south-east of the country. The population currently sits at around 530,000. Fifty miles to the west is Glasgow, Scotland’s most populous city.
Edinburgh has Scotland’s busiest airport making the city the main hub for overseas travel. Domestically, Edinburgh is accessible by road from the M8 and M9 to the west and the M90 from the north.
Within the city itself, it is easy to travel around by bus. However, Edinburgh is best explored on foot. There are amazing views, hidden courtyards, and secret gardens to be discovered almost everywhere you look. You can opt to have all of this and more right on your doorstep when you choose to stay in high-quality aparthotels in Edinburgh.
As one of the most visited cities in the UK, second only to London, it comes as no surprise that Edinburgh city apartments are in such high demand amongst business travellers.
One of the main reasons the city is so attractive is Edinburgh’s economic prowess. After all, the city is deemed as one of the biggest financial centres in the UK. Edinburgh businesses profit from this fact. The economy is supported by key industries and sectors such as finance, education, insurance and investment, whilst the Bank of Scotland has been economically vital for the city for over 300 years.

Some of the more iconic historic structures in the city are the Edinburgh Cathedrals, notably St Giles’ and St Mary’s, built in the twelfth and nineteenth centuries, respectively.
Equally iconic is the Edinburgh castle. It contains the oldest building in the city, the St. Margaret’s Chapel, thought to date back to at least 1130. Dominating the city skyline, the castle is a landmark, visited by over 1.5 million people every year.

Capable of hosting either longer or short-term corporate stays, serviced apartments are more like ‘home away from homes’. They are a type of fully furnished and facilitated housing that allows guests to live away from home whilst on business trips. They are flexible too, and allow visitors to have easy access to everything they need.
A corporate staying in a typical Edinburgh serviced apartment can expect to have a range of home-like facilities at their disposal. The minimum they should expect is a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi and internet access, a TV, laundry facilities, available parking and a housekeeping service. However, serviced accommodation does offer more and we encourage bookers to request whatever they expect from their upcoming stay.
Prices start from as low as £42 per night at the Braid Apartments, which are just outside the city centre.
