Hotel Rooms and Hospitality at the Venue

Due to the rugby event the following day, hotel rooms will be in short supply in Edinburgh this weekend.

The Scottish Oil Club and Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa has reserved a block of rooms for guests staying over the night of the dinner (and the preceding night) at favourable rates. Book as early as possible to secure these rooms.

Note: as of June 2010 there are no more rooms from this allocation.

Corporate members of the Club may wish to entertain their guests before the dinner in separate hospitality suites. The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa has a number of hospitality suites available and should be booked direct with the Hotel and not through the Club.

Hosts and members are requested to book rooms directly with the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa rather than via the Club.
