12 new places in Scotland for 2020 incentives

The corporate incentive offer in Scotland is always changing and updating with the arrival of new hotels, venues and experiences. As a DMC it’s really important that we keep up to date with what’s happening, so we can offer our clients new and exciting options! Here are just some of what we’re looking forward to in 2020 for MICE events:

1. W Hotel at St James

A 214-room luxury hotel with a rooftop bar and outdoor terrace with views across the city skyline. Oh, and the most amazing ribbon design!

2. 100 Princess Street by The Red Carnation Hotel Collection

Anticipation is running high for the arrival of this exclusive retreat on Edinburgh’s most famous street.

3. Cameron House

Set on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, the restoration of this luxury retreat is due for completion in late 2020. Just look at the stunning view that the hotel enjoys!

4. A Haggis Farm

Learn about it, make it, eat it – everything you ever wanted to know about Haggis, set in the picturesque Campsie Glens near Glasgow.

5. Malmaison St Andrews Square

A 72-bedroom hotel in a stunning Georgian building right in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town.

6. House of Gods

Just opened, this 22-bedroom boutique hotel and cocktail bar is an acute clash of styles, broken rules and opposites. Unapologetic extravagance and a very unique experience.

7. Aberdeen Art Gallery

Home to one of the finest art collections in the UK the newly refurbished gallery provides a wonderful new venue space in the city, with the upper galleries offering special views across the city.

8. SMWS Glasgow

Sure to be as exquisite as its sister clubs in Edinburgh, we can’t wait for the Scotch Malt Whisky Society to open in Glasgow, providing an exclusive dining experience for small incentive groups.

9. Johnnie Walker Experience

A ‘world class whisky experience’ with event spaces and a ‘bar academy’, set in a landmark building on Princes Street.

10. Yotel Glasgow

A minimalist hotel with cleverly designed ‘cabins’, a rooftop bar and a bowling alley, right in Glasgow city centre.

11. MOXY & Courtyard by Marriott Glasgow

450-bed development right at the Scottish Event Campus, perfect for conference visitors!

12. Ka Pao

A new 120-cover South East Asia inspired restaurant in Glasgow’s West End, created by the team at one of our favourite restaurants, Ox & Finch.
