Heart of Midlothian have unveiled plans to launch a 25-bedroom hotel early next year.
Integrated within the main stand at Tynecastle, it will be the UK’s first club-owned and operated hotel inside a football stadium.
The Tynecastle Park Hotel will offer a choice of individually styled guest rooms, including family, executive and accessible rooms.
There will also be a club lounge and a choice of six new dedicated meeting, conference and event spaces.
Hearts chairman Ann Budge said: "Tynecastle Park is set to offer a truly unique hotel experience in our iconic Tynecastle Park Stadium – the home of Heart of Midlothian Football Club.
"Owned and operated entirely by the club, the hotel is Hearts’ newest and boldest venture. It’s also the only hotel of its kind found anywhere in the UK.
“As part of our ambitious growth plans both on and off the pitch, our in-house hospitality team will take full responsibility for running the hotel and providing one-of-a-kind matchday experience and guest stays.
“The hotel rooms and additional conference and events space will offer the club an ideal opportunity to host even more events at Tynecastle while appealing to the millions of visitors that Edinburgh attracts each year as the UK’s second most visited city.”
Budge added: “As well as our vast supporter base both in the local area and from further afield, we hope to attract international visitors and guests from around the UK looking for high quality, contemporary accommodation as part of an Edinburgh city break.
“It’s not just a hotel for football fans. Tynecastle Park Hotel is ideally positioned within a few minutes of the city centre, Murrayfield Stadium and the Edinburgh tram line.
"Also located on the right side of the city for Edinburgh Airport, this will be a perfect location for all types of visitors, including business travellers.”
An opening offer of dinner, bed and breakfast will be available from £150 per room per night, based on two people sharing. For more information and updates visit: tynecastleparkhotel.com
