The 20,099-capacity Tynecastle Park is a football stadium in the Gorgie area of Edinburgh, Scotland, which is the home ground of the Scottish Professional Football League club Heart of Midlothian. It has also hosted Scotland international matches, and has been used as a neutral venue for Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup semi-finals.

‘Heart of Midlothian’ further stated that the hotel rooms and additional conference and events space will give a unique opportunity to host more events at Tynecastle and also appeal to the millions of visitors that Edinburgh attracts each year as the United Kingdom’s second most visited City.

The club has taken time to consider all available options relating to the second floor and believes this project will provide the best platform to support its ambitious growth plans both on and off the pitch.

The club will update supporters on timescales as the planning process stage progresses.
