Venue

Like last year and back by popular attendee demand – ScotiaCon is being hosted by the superb Mercure Inverness hotel.

This year’s hotel is exactly the same as last years – only that the name of the company owning the hotel has changed. This is why the photos look the same but the name is now “Mercure Inverness” and not “Ramada Inverness”.

Situated right beside the town centre, with views of the River Ness, the hotel makes for a great location. There are pubs and restaurants right next door and a shopping centre with the latest brands as well as shops selling local wares and souvenirs. Being a smaller city, food and drink as well as shopping is substantially cheaper, not to mention travel.

The hotel has an indoor pool and gym, which will be available to anyone staying at the hotel, wireless internet access, and to really sell it to the traditionalists: a big, well stocked bar on the ground floor, as well as our own private bar throughout the day – exclusively for our own attendees! Breakfast is complimentary to anyone booking a room and the hotel also has a restaurant serving lunch and dinner.

The hotel’s restaurant offers traditional and internationally inspired cuisine, delicious desserts and a selection of fine wines to compliment your meal. You’ll find friendly and helpful service from their experienced waiting staff amongst individually styled surroundings which offer a relaxed atmosphere for an enjoyable dining experience.

This year, another great reason to stay at the official convention hotel is the introduction of our new FLEXI-PAY system for any hotel room bookings. With FLEXI-PAY, once you have bought your convention ticket, you can then book your room direct with Mercure – and pay any day up to the first day of your check-in stay! That means that you can pay 6 months in advance, a few weeks or on the very day of your check-in – making it easier to spread your payment for ScotiaCon over a couple of months to your convenience.
