About us

Arriving at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa is always something special. Together with our Scottish brasserie, One Square and the award-winning One Spa, the hotel is part of a unique urban getaway at the heart of Edinburgh. Open from early in the morning until last thing at night, our Modern Scottish brasserie, One Square, serves a deliciously inventive range of seasonal favourites. From the well-stocked bar to the seasonal menus, One Square is somewhere to meet with friends and sip a G&T on the outdoor terrace.Refined, relaxed and restful, our guest rooms are perfectly suited for both business and pleasure. Bright and spacious, all feature mood lighting, opaque glass-walled bathrooms and media hubs, with many enjoying inspirational views of Edinburgh Castle. Guests on our Club Level have exclusive access to the Club Lounge, where they can start the day with a complimentary breakfast.When it comes to meetings, the Sheraton Grand’s events complex features 14 function rooms, each with integrated technology and plenty of natural daylight. Of course, nobody likes all work and no play, which is why we’d recommend some quality time in the tranquil One Spa, or an express treatment at Now, our chic urban beauty salon.

On Purpose Adventures
On Purpose Adventures
Multi-city
Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.
