The Society of Experimental Test Pilots
55th European SETP Symposium
26-30 July 2026
Edinburgh, Scotland
** It has come to our attention that if you are trying to book your arrival date for July 24th or 25th and/or your departure date after July 31st, the Marriott link below will not offer the negotiated weekend rates of £309/night (single occupancy) or £319/night (double occupancy). The hotel has provided us with instructions on how to work around this:
- Step 1 - use the link provided below to book your room with using the earliest arrival date of Sunday, July 26th, to the latest departing date of July 31st and complete the reservation process
- Step 2 - Email the hotel with your reservation confirmation and request the desired amended check-in date of July 24th or 25th at the negotiated rate for these weekend dates. If you would like to amend your check-out date to August 1st or 2nd, please inform the hotel of this as well to ensure you receive the weekend rates.

Hotel Accommodation Information
We are pleased to inform you that an arrangement has been reached with the Courtyard Marriott, Edinburgh with a small block of discounted rooms now available.
Please follow this link to reserve your room: Book your group rate for Society of Experimental Test Pilots
As you will appreciate, Edinburgh is a popular tourist venue and as such accommodation deals are hard to come by. Consequently, early booking is strongly recommended to secure this much reduced rate. For your information rooms at the hotel at this time are £399/night. For the Symposium a negotiated rate of £269 for double occupancy (£259 single) has been secured. A reduced rate for the weekend days before and after the Symposium at £309/night has also been secured. Please act swiftly to secure this deal. You do not have to pay in full until later, but if we use the full allocation now, we can get further rooms in the future.
As a reminder the dates for the Symposium are: arrival Sunday, 26th July. The banquet will be Wednesday, 29th July, and the Technical Tour will be on Thursday, 30th July for those wishing to participate.
One important “trick” when booking, after you have narrowed down the dates that you want, MAKE SURE that you click “DONE”. If not, it will ping you out to the worldwide Marriott website and charge you a fortune for a room.
For those wishing to venture away from corporate Marriott, there are some amazing Airbnb places nearby. The location for the Symposium has a post code of EH1 3RH - use that to narrow your search.
