The Auction Rooms, 22 Queen Street

The Auction Rooms, by MOTA — Premium Serviced Offices in Edinburgh’s New Town

Discover The Auction Rooms – a fully serviced, design-led office space in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, tailored for modern businesses, growing teams, and hybrid workstyles. Launched by Atom Group and operated under its new workspace brand, MOTA, The Auction Rooms blends modern design with high-performance workspace management to deliver a seamless, hospitality-driven office experience.

Private Offices with Full-Service Support

All office suites at The Auction Rooms are available on a minimum 12-month lease and are supported by a membership-based model. Rather than a traditional rental agreement, tenant businesses lease their private office through employee desk memberships — each including an allocated desk and access to a wide range of workspace benefits.

Each membership unlocks: ◦ Access to their company’s private, secure office suite in a central, prestigious location ◦ 24/7 building access and secure entry systems ◦ Access to elegant meeting rooms and boardroom, fully equipped with state-of-the-art conferencing and ClickShare technology ◦ Daily support from the on-site MOTA operations team (7 a.m. – 7 p.m.) ◦ A spacious members' lounge and fully equipped kitchenettes ◦ Complimentary artisan coffee, luxury teas, and healthy snack pantries ◦ High-speed internet, secure bike storage, and luxury shower and changing rooms ◦ Regular community events and professional networking initiatives ◦ Exclusive partnerships with local Edinburgh businesses

Hybrid Licences: Flexibility Beyond Your Office For businesses with part-time, rotating, or hybrid teams, MOTA offers an optional Hybrid Licence. This add-on allows registered team members who don’t require a permanent desk to access workspace and amenities as needed — without expanding to a larger office space.

A Hybrid Licence provides: ◦ Cost-efficient access for hybrid, freelance, or project-based staff ◦ Scalable team support without overcommitting to office size ◦ Full access to The Auction Rooms and members benefits ◦ Access to a shared booking app, allowing team members to view desk availability and pre-book their workspace in advance — ensuring ◦ space is always available and usage is coordinated across the team

The MOTA Difference MOTA, developed by Atom Group, redefines serviced workspaces by combining operational excellence with deep expertise in commercial real estate and hospitality. The result: consistently high-performing environments that meet the needs of modern occupiers while enhancing asset value for landlords.

Whether you're establishing a new base, scaling a team, or seeking a smarter alternative to traditional office leasing, The Auction Rooms by MOTA delivers a workspace that adapts to the way you work — today and tomorrow.
