Holiday Inn Aberdeen
Built around a busy working harbour on the banks of the rivers Don and Dee
, Aberdeen is a large and bustling university city with a thriving business centre. We at Holiday Inn Aberdeen book out our meeting rooms every day for business, educational, charity and private customers.The many fine Victorian buildings in Aberdeen, built from locally quarried rock, have led to it being called the Granite City. There are also numerous heritage buildings to explore, including the 15th Century Kings College tower and the famous Brig OBalgownie, one of the oldest bridges in Britain. Easy to reach by rail, road and air, the citys picturesque coastal location in the Grampian Highlands has made it a favourite destination with the Royal Family for many years.
Where the Royals go, others follow, and Aberdeen is second only to Edinburgh in terms of tourism. Its fine beach has made it a popular family resort, but theres also a thriving commercial hub, with a number of shopping malls and arts venues. A chic cosmopolitan caf culture, high student population and numerous clubs, bars and restaurants means Aberdeen reverberates both day and night.
Naturally, its important that the modern architecture blends with the traditional granite buildings. We at Holiday Inn Aberdeen have achieved this with our meeting room venue near Westhill Business Park. Conveniently sited close to the city centre and Aberdeen Airport, we offer extensive business facilities in an attractive low-rise, apartment-style complex which can house from 20 to 280 guests.
Aberdeen is one of Scotlands wealthiest cities. Until the 1970s it was largely dependent on long-established industries such as fishing, textiles, granite quarrying, ship-building and paper making. As these declined, they were replaced by the discovery of North Sea oil, which led to Aberdeen being dubbed the Oil Capital of Europe. Lately, this has changed to the Energy Capital of Europe, as dwindling oil reserves has led to much interest in the development of renewable energy sources, led by the Scottish Enterprise Groups Energetica initiative.
Aberdeen houses two of Scotlands premium universities, meaning an enviable number of graduates for the citys scientific companies. The Macaulay Institute plays an important part in agricultural research, and the fact Aberdeen is the centre for Scotlands fisheries research has done its trawler men no harm at all. Electronics, the life sciences, nutritional research and the oil industry all have important outlets here and there is also a marine research laboratory in Torrey.
We at Holiday Inn Aberdeen have a quiet village location that makes our meeting rooms equally suitable for charity events, family weddings and boardroom discussions. Companies are fast coming round to the fact that the region is an exhilarating and exciting place to work, and that Aberdeen fosters corporate and personal achievement, success and development. Planning a conference in one of our meeting rooms places delegates away from the distractions of the office environment, and enables CEOs to bring together work colleagues from a number of different locations.
Our meeting rooms are as equally suited to serious company debates, as they are to teambuilding, training and corporate hospitality events. Once companies discover us at Holiday Inn Aberdeen, they return again and again.
