HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Virgin Hotels Edinburgh is a lively, design-driven hotel set in a historic building on Victoria Street in Edinburgh’s Old Town. Inside, warm materials mix with playful touches, and the rooms feel spacious and well thought out, making it a comfortable base for exploring the city. The atmosphere is upbeat and welcoming, with the kind of personality that fits right into this creative, storied neighbourhood. Guests can unwind on the rooftop terrace with views of Edinburgh Castle, enjoy Scottish-inspired dishes and cocktails in the restaurants and bars, or relax in the cosy library lounge. With the Royal Mile, Grassmarket and the castle all just a short walk away, the hotel offers a blend of central buzz and a stylish place to retreat to at the end of the day.
Close to every postcard moment, but never stuck in tourist mode, this is city life with style, humour and a rooftop view you’ll remember.
