The Dean Suite – With spectacular high ceilings, stunning Victorian architecture, a grand fireplace and a beautiful bay window overlooking the private Drumsheugh Gardens, the Dean Suite is an impressive statement for any event.

Key Features:
- State of the art audio visual equipment
- A variety of menus catering to the tastes of your guests
The Library – The most beautiful hidden Library in Edinburgh? Decorated with a tasteful collection of antiques and luxurious furnishings, this room gets its name from a subtle nod back to the days when The Bonham was known as Muir Hall (when the 3 townhouses were accommodation for medical students.) On its own, it can be a warm and inviting space perfect for intimate gatherings. Or, booked alongside the Dean Suite, is the ideal setting for a drinks reception or breakout space.
Key Features
- An inviting room to impress history lovers or transport your guests back to ‘old Edinburgh’
- Flat Screen TV
The Snug – A beautifully ornate former reading room, The Snug boasts charming original wood panelling, a stunning fireplace and opulent décor. A lovely space for up to 8 people to dine or meet in style.
No.35 at The Bonham – Not many realise that (depending on the size of your event) you can choose to hire our full No.35 restaurant, or simply request half the partitioned room. Charm your private dining event guests with glittering chandeliers and our famous art collection.
Key Features:
- Fine-dining experiences for up to 60 guests.
- Adjoining bar to ensure stylish cocktails and great wine will be flowing all evening.
Edinburgh Celebration and Intimate Gatherings Venue
Whether you’re looking to celebrate a significant birthday or anniversary with a private dining experience, host an Afternoon Tea for a memorable baby shower or toast an engagement with a lavish drinks reception, do it in style at The Bonham.
We recently hosted a lively and stylish gathering of ladies for a private Autumn Afternoon Tea. Each guest was greeted in front of our Library by our team and their hosts, who welcomed them with a bespoke Edinburgh Gin cocktail created especially for the occasion by our team.
Their event, set across multiple spaces in the hotel, began with a gin masterclass alongside our friends from Edinburgh Gin. They then headed up to a staged bedroom suite, where a popular Edinburgh stylist delivered a ‘Sustainable Styling Workshop’ in the comfort of private room that allowed for fit sessions and a relaxed Q&A.
The day ended with a luxury selection of sandwiches, cakes, and sweet treats, set around the grand table of our Dean Suite.
Corporate Meeting Spaces in the Edinburgh
For corporate events, our luxury private meeting spaces provide an inspirational environment to impress clients, motivate teams and encourage creativity.
In autumn 2024, our Snug played host to one of Scotland’s most popular content creators, the Tartan Viking. Scotland Tour Operator Eric needed a quiet and ‘Scottish’ location to host his October Instagram and TikTok lives. The Snug was the perfect small space, tucked neatly at the top of our reception stairs, to host their 2-person social media presentations.
Whether it’s a board meeting, presentation, team-building event or conference, you will find a range of flexible meeting rooms at The Bonham, equipped with the latest audio-visual technology to support your business needs.
