Overview

The Glasshouse is a 5 star hotel in the heart of Edinburgh city centre and was established in 2003 after being converted from a church to a hotel and wedding venue, aptly named from the stunning glass-sided building exterior. The Glasshouse retains the Gothic-style stone facade of the Lady Glenorchy Church it once was which creates a striking contrast against the contemporary glass panelling design. As you pass through the 160 year old Georgian archway, the contemporary styled interior captivates you with impressive spiral staircases leading up to a bright, spacious mezzanine where you can look out from the original feature church glass windows to the city of Edinburgh.

Facilities 

The Glasshouse has the best of both worlds by offering a two-acre rooftop garden oasis whilst being ideally located in the heart of Edinburgh city centre, this tranquil setting creates a wonderfully romantic atmosphere and is a perfect backdrop for an outdoor ceremony and wedding photographs. There are many indoor and outdoor options for the location of your wedding ceremony such as the outdoor terrace; the balcony, on the rooftop garden lawn, or you could opt for the best of both and have your ceremony take place in the indoor observatory where you’ll be surrounded by floor to ceiling windows overlooking the rooftop garden.

The Glasshouse can accommodate 80 dining guests and a total of 110 evening guests.
