Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

Tucked away on Victoria Street in Edinburgh’s Old Town, Virgin Hotels Edinburgh enjoys a prime location for exploring the ancient sites of the city, including Edinburgh Castle and St Giles Cathedral. Set across five unique and interconnected buildings, the hotel’s interiors are creatively exuberant, with playful touches scattered throughout. Think light-filled spaces, curvaceous furniture, and more than a hint of Virgin’s trademark lively approach to travel. Entertainment is certainly on the cards in the restaurant and bar, with a changing programme of events including Chef’s Table at Commons Club, Jazz & Swing or Saturday Funk and Soul classics at Eve Bar and weekend brunch with handpicked entertainment. From the hotel’s flagship restaurant, The Commons Club, which serves up a modern take on heritage Scottish cuisine to more informal fare and world-famous DJs and local stars at Eve Bar, dining is a pleasure, despite the many other tempting options on your doorstep.

The 222 ‘chambers’ and suites are a calming palette of soft pinks, natural materials, and neutral tones in thoughtfully designed spaces that offer a sense of privacy and tranquillity. Bright red SMEG mini-fridges, app-operated amenities and patented custom-designed hybrid beds create an indulgent space that may tempt you back early from your exploration of the city.
