Here it is built into the corner; the other corner at opposite end of the stand is empty 👇

Yep, no good for the festival or the rugby and the photo makes the bed look about 20 feet wide so room unlikely to be as big as it seems.

I was at the hotel for a one night stay lovely meal a few beers a chat with some very nice people ( Hearts fans of course) very nice room ( personally I don’t give a shit about a window) great breakfast. Really enjoyed it.

 

Will definitely do it again.

£300K in the first month? Wow!

 

Surely that's advance bookings as well? Not £300k/month (£3.6M/Year Average)?

 

Still, awesome!

I'm fairly sure that will just be the first month's business. At the AGM, the club said over £1m of income was forecast up to 30th June, so basically 5 months, meaning over £200k per month. For the first month, with the introductory offer and the level of interest from fans in trying out the hotel (as seen on this thread), I think the place will have been very busy, and income will have been comfortably above the average monthly expected level. I do think things will probably drop off a bit once the initial rush of fans looking to try the place out subsides, although I'm sure it'll still be very lucrative, and will pick up again as summer approaches!

Still, averaging around £200K/month is a revenue stream we did not have before. All goes into the pot 

(well, obviously after the running costs etc. are deducted)

Yep, there are no negatives to this despite the disappointing breakfast for some. We’ve turned an empty unused space into an all year round revenue stream for the club. 

[Sooks]

Quite interesting looking back on the thread . A fair bit of scepticism about how successful the hotel would be . Seems like we are doing better than some predicted . £300 k in a month is outstanding . I predicted a million a year and I think we will smash that . Good times 

 

Definitely think some people have a far worse impression of Gorgie than most . It is nowhere near as bad an area as some like to make out and if anything it is proving to be quite popular

Not sure about a gym and spa but I can't see a hotel in Gorgie being an attraction. Even for Hearts fans. My wife would certainly not fancy it. Even on my own I wouldn't. Gorgie is fine  pre and post match but otherwise?

Strange this has emerged years after the original plans and design. Desperation?

The old 1960s social club revisited? Football clubs don't have a great record with non football related activities

I am not sure what the attractions of Haymarket are. Or Fountain Park for someone paying for a hotel. It is within striking distance ( for the few who don't find a 30 plus minute walk daunting) of the city centre but there are a huge number of hotel rooms many pretty cheap and much closer.

The conference and meeting rooms idea seemed to me half baked given that Murrayfied could offer more and with lots of parking.

This seems more odd. 

Why did we spend money on something we did not know what to do with?

Thanks for all the insults because I dared to express an opinion. Trouble is I am old enough to remember the launch of the old social club/bar/cabaret venue which was supposed to be a money spinner. We will see.

 

 

 

Seems to be spinning a bit of money already

Best case : 12 rooms at 75% occupancy 365 nights at £100 a night after VAT and servicing costs is just over £300k a year. Deduct half that for staff and maintenance and equipment and you have £150k profit, so around 6 years before it pays for itself then you have to refurbish it

 

On 27/03/2022 at 15:49, JimmyCant said:

The Edinburgh tourist season runs from May to September. You’ll get close to 100% occupancy in a small boutique hotel and in August you can charge top dollar. Where hotels make or break though is between October and April when the occupancies go sharply down apart from event weekends like new year, rugby etc etc. midweek November through to March you will sit empty unless your price is highly competitive and you make yourself busy for next to no revenue when you deduct costs. 
 

Id be sceptical about the prospects of a small boutique hotel which is in a run down area with not much going for it apart from Hearts and Murrayfield and it’s not city centre. City centre in hotel terms means you fall out of bed into Princes Street or the High Street

 

You will of course be pretty pleased that it is doing better than you predicted on a few fronts . It appears to be on track to do better than my quite optimistic predictions too

Delighted it has done well. I will add a positive note in response on Jimmy Cant's post defining the Edinburgh tourist season a May to September. That was true a few decades ago when I lived in the city but on visits these days it seems busy with tourists year round.

That’s the same everywhere…..I’ve been taking tourists since early January and, I’m currently at about 95% booked up until the end of September where it drops off a bit but, that’s likely to hover around about 60-80% for the remainder of the year.

Completely agree regarding the tourist season in Edinburgh. Clearly we are ridiculously busy during the Festival/summer period  but the UK’s second most visited city is busy all year round.

V complimentary review, I thought, in the Times travel section today 

 

There is a joke to be had about the idea of going to Tynecastle Park in the hope of getting a good sleep. But that’s the reality at Heart of Midlothian’s home in 2024. The 150-year-old club they call the Jambos has opened Edinburgh’s most unlikely place to stay — a four-star hotel owned and operated by the club itself inside its stadium.

Opened last month, Tynecastle Park Hotel is neatly tucked into one corner of the stadium, where the fans’ experience on matchdays is regarded as one of the best in Scotland. Tynecastle has four compact and steep stands tightly enclosing the pitch, putting it in the Goldilocks zone when it comes to the ingredients for generating a cracking atmosphere. Throw in plenty of nearby pubs and Haymarket railway station 20 minutes’ walk away and you have a maroon cauldron ticking all the boxes as a modern football venue.

When Hearts committed to rebuilding the dilapidated main stand in 2017, the club realised it could offer more than just the usual corporate lounges and function suites in the new glass-fronted stand. And so the idea for a hotel was hatched.

The target market is varied. Any reasonably priced hotel close to Edinburgh city centre should do OK for tourists. Hearts fans from near and far will fancy the idea of putting money into the club via an overnighter or a weekend break. Overseas visitors for their European games may do the same (tribalism dictates that for fans of rival Scottish clubs the very idea is utterly unthinkable, of course). The hope is that Six Nations fans will also see it as an intriguing option, given Murrayfield is just a mile away. The O2 Academy is within walking distance too.

Club colours are used sparingly in the hope of reaching more than just the matchday crowd

 

What Hearts have created is a neat, bright, functional hotel with a bit of class. Guests enter through the same main entrance as the players and management do on match days. At reception — after the tiny personal satisfaction of answering “And are you a Hearts fan yourself?” with “No, no, Aberdeen” — I headed upstairs past a warren of lounges and suites. These throb with people when there is a home game. A shrewd decision was taken not to make the bedrooms too “Heartsy”. No wall-to-wall maroon or posters of the Jambos legend John Robertson — it doesn’t feel as if you’ve walked into a Gorgie teenager’s bedroom. Barring a couple of tartan cushions on the bed and some maroon on a rug, the Hearts colours are barely visible at all. The rooms are bright and spotless and the en suite showers have a smart marble finish. It all feels satisfyingly modern and businesslike. Molton Brown toiletries are a nice touch.

An en suite shower room.  Surprisingly the rooms don’t offer a view of the pitch — or at least not a real one. The design of the stand does not allow for that, but in some rooms the HD plasma screens feature a stream of the playing surface taken from a fixed camera high behind one of the goals. Unaware guests have mistakenly thought they were looking at a still image simply there to serve as wallpaper, only to then spot a groundsman walking out or a bird flying across the screen. If Hearts have a home game a guest can watch on that stream in their room. Meals are in the Skyline restaurant on the third floor with a three-course deal at £34.95. Starter options include chicken and black pudding terrine and cured duck breast. Mains include a haunch of venison bourguignon, seared guinea fowl, and fresh haddock fillet in a beer batter. No pie and Bovril here. The hotel may be new, but Skyline opened in 2019 and last year earned a spot in OpenTable’s UK Top 100 Restaurants. The food and service are excellent. The adjoining cocktail bar has a screen showing Sky Sports but the volume is low and unobtrusive. For football fans, especially, the whole hotel experience is enjoyable and different. Tynecastle has come a long way. About 25 years ago I went to an Aberdeen game there when there was a single lavatory cubicle for an away terrace capable of taking 8,000 fans. And it was out of order. In his seminal guide to British football grounds in 1987 the architectural historian Simon Inglis wrote affectionately of Tynecastle’s hemmed-in, inner city charm: “Tenements and a soot-coloured distillery watch over the ground like cell blocks over a prison yard.” Just as tourists delight in the ramparts and dungeons of Edinburgh Castle, he concluded, so “lovers of Scottish football delight in the cloistered intricacies of Tynecastle”. The old place has not moved an inch but … but, boy, has it grown and spread its wings.

There is something good about the standard the hotel has set itself. the way it has been decorated that it has touches of Hearts but they are subtle. Its impressive and hopefully a standard that is maintained.

 Read this review this morning. Most surprising bit was the revelation that Michael Grant is an Aberdeen. Always thought he was Celtic. Maybe just the old Abergreen effect.

 

Also laughing at the predictions of Jimmy Cant. That's supposed to be his profession too! Oh dear, oh dear.
