Accommodation

Delegates attending ECFG9 can book accommodation at Pollock Halls (University of Edinburgh) or in city hotels. You are advised to make your booking as soon as possible. Edinburgh is a popular tourist city and accommodation can be difficult to obtain at short notice.

Pollock Halls (University of Edinburgh)
Pollock Halls form a large complex in parkland located about 2 km from George Square, which is the venue for the Scientific Sessions. The site borders Holyrood Park with Salisbury Crags and Arthur’s Seat forming a splendid backcloth. The accommodation here is mainly single ensuite rooms. Some double (twin rooms) are available. 

Rooms can be booked by email – bed.breakfast@ed.ac.uk  
Hotels
A range of 2-star to 4-star hotels are available within a radius of 3km of the location for the scientific sessions
You can view these on the interactive map.

Reduced room rates have been negotiated with the hotels, on behalf of ECFG9, by the Edinburgh Convention Bureau. Bookings should be made through the Bureau website
