Scottish Rugby is delighted to announce that Apex Hotels will once again be the Official Hotel of the Emirates Airline Edinburgh 7s, which are being held at Murrayfield on Saturday 31 May and Sunday 1 June as the climax of the IRB World 7s Series.

Some 16 international teams will be hosted in the city and their healthy appetites will see Apex provide some 2,700 slices of toast and 330 pints of milk just for breakfast alone.
