What event bookers are actually looking for in 2026
The events landscape today demands more from venues than ever before. Bookers aren’t impressed by space alone. They need partners who help them deliver outcomes...

It has been confirmed today that Hyatt Hotels Corporation has won the bid to operate the new Spa & Conference hotel at Edinburgh Marina. This is the international hotelier’s first hotel in Scotland.
The Hyatt Regency hotel at Edinburgh Marina will have 187 bedrooms including a two bedroom Presidential suite together with 98 one, two and three bedroom Hyatt Regency Residences serviced apartments. These apartments will be designed and fitted to the same specification as the hotel room enabling guests to enjoy the service and amenities of a hotel, whilst enjoying all the benefits of a self-contained apartment.
The property will also feature a health spa and fitness centre, a 10,000 sq.ft conference & banqueting centre, restaurants and bars. The hotel will overlook the new 340 berth Edinburgh Marina which will uniquely, for this coastline, provide 24/7 access at all states of tides.
