Assembly Rooms, Category A listed building on George Street, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Assembly Rooms is a neoclassical Georgian building featuring four principal halls with high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and ornate gold leaf detailing throughout its interior spaces. The Music Hall and Ballroom each accommodate up to 750 guests, with nine additional rooms sized for groups ranging from 10 to 120 people.
Architect John Henderson won a design competition to create the building, with construction beginning in 1783. The venue formally opened in 1787 during the Caledonian Hunt Ball.
The Assembly Rooms serve as a hub for artistic performances and theatrical events. The building's continued role in hosting creative presentations makes it a gathering place for performers and audiences seeking cultural experiences.
The building contains multiple entrances and distinct areas that make it easy to navigate between different spaces. Visitors should allow time to explore the various rooms and experience how each space functions for different event types.
A major renovation brought in modern climate control and advanced technical systems while preserving the original Georgian architectural details. This blend of historic character and contemporary technology allows the building to meet modern standards without losing its authentic appeal.
