Hotels, Bars & Clubs
throughout Edinburgh and Scotland
Festival Inns is Edinburgh’s most exciting and dynamic
hotel, bar, club and restaurant company. Whether you are
looking for accommodation, a party or conference venue or
just a great night out, we have just what you are looking
for...
Launched in 1997, by Edinburgh
entrepreneur Kenneth Waugh, Festival Inns has become one of
Scotland’s most dynamic and ground breaking leisure
companies. With special focus on catering for niche markets,
this privately owned company has advanced to create unique
bars, clubs and hotels in Edinburgh, Bridge of Allan, St Andrews
and Aberdeen.
"I firmly believe the
success of the business is due to the fact that each outlet
we have opened has been carefully designed to have its own
identity rather than being part of an obvious ’chain’."
