Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

The hotel’s design celebrates the old and new, combining Victorian architecture with playful wallpaper, bold murals, and neon signs. Rooms are light and bright, with plenty of pale wood and soft colors. Sliding doors separate the sleeping area from the relaxing area of each room. Bathrooms continue the white and wood theme.

Enjoy a coffee or a drink by the fire at The Funny Library, which is stocked with books and games. After hours, head to the Commons Club Bar for a cocktail with a contemporary twist, while the Commons Club Restaurant showcases a modern take on traditional Scottish cuisine.

Start off your day with a workout in the hotel’s sizeable gym or relax on the roof terrace, which offers unbeatable views of the city and nearby castles.

Some of Edinburgh’s top sights are within walking distance to the hotel, including the Palace of Holyrood House and the Scotch Whisky Experience. Walk down curved Victoria Street, which is full of unique shops and restaurants.
