The Omni Centre is an entertainment and leisure complex in Greenside, Edinburgh

Overview

edit

The Omni was built on top of a long abandoned car park development, sloping down the steep hillside at Greenside Row. It opened in 2002 creating a modern glass curtain wall and new public realm beneath the Calton Hill skyline.

It is anchored by a 12-screen Vue cinema, a health and fitness club, a luxury five-star hotel and has a multi-level underground car park.

The complex has several bars and restaurants, including JD Wetherspoon, Cosmo, Tony Macaroni, Boom Battle Bar and Nando's.

Transportation

edit

The Omni Centre is a five-minute walk from both Edinburgh Waverley railway station and Edinburgh Bus Station.

Picardy Place tram stop is just across the road from the main entrance, with several connecting bus stops close by.
