It’s that time of year when stags and Hens start to plan their wedding days for the forthcoming summer. The Stag and Hen weekend (as it has become) is an industry that has flourished over the last decade. Gone are the days when you would go for a couple of pints down the local pub with a few friends the night before your big day. Stag and Hen Do’s often involve a weekend city break to UK cities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool.

A weekend in Edinburgh, for example, is a great excuse to get all of your old friends together and regale old tales from when you wre growing up. You might want to enjoy some luxury pampering (probably more for the girls!) or a pub crawl around Edinburgh where the best man will try and press friends of the groom for any juicy secrets that should be brought up in the Best Man’s speech on the wedding day!

So where should you go drinking in Edinburgh? Some of the best bars include Mathers, Cloisters and Malt Shovel. If you are looking for a nice restaurant in Edinburgh then you would do worse than booking a reservation at The Witchery, The Tower or Rhubarb. Some of the tourist attractions that you might want to see during the daytime are Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of HolyroodHouse and the gleaming Scottish Parliament. For some more detailed information check out the Serviced City Pads Edinburgh Out and About section.

Edinburgh would certainly be considered to be a classy choice for your hen or stag do. It is a great city to visit for the weekend with lots of bars, restaurants and Tourist attractions in Edinburgh to see.

Serviced City Pads will be delighted to help organise your accommodation for your stag do in Edinburgh or your Edinburgh hen do. We have a wide selection of serviced apartments in Edinburgh that will be suitable for your Edinburgh visit. You can have a look at the apartments we can offer on www.servicedcitypads.com, although we would suggest you call us on 0844 335 8866 to ensure we get you the best deal for your stay. We find that managing bookings for large groups in Edinburgh is easier done one on one over the phone. This allows us to really understand what it is you want from your visit and how much you would like to spend. Our serviced apartments in Edinburgh can suit a wide range of budgets and some are suitable for large groups, while others are more family orientated. Groups of girls often find it preferable staying in an Edinburgh apartment rather than a hotel in Edinburgh. There are are number of reasons for this. Apartments allow girls to get ready together before they go out. The additional space that a serviced apartment offers means that you can enjoy a bottle of champagne together in the living area, watch tv, play some music or just chat to one another. You just wouldn’t have the space to do this is if you were staying in a number of hotel rooms. An apartment is also a less formal envionment than a hotel and many groups also like this, a feeling of a home away from home and somewhere they can relax for the weekend.

So, give Serviced City Pads a call on 0844 335 8866 so we can help organise your hen or stag do in Edinburgh. The Reservations team will be delighted to take your call!
