Accommodations

A unique two-chamber design.

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh's signature two-chamber concept runs across all room categories, a clever design that separates the sleeping and lounge area from the dressing space via sliding privacy doors, with a stand-alone vanity, ample storage, yoga mats, and thoughtfully placed outlets throughout. The result is a room that works harder than most without ever feeling clinical. Suites are housed in the older parts of the building, where high ceilings and oversized windows make the most of the 19th-century architecture. Family Suites sleep two adults and three children and can connect with an additional King Chamber, while other connecting configurations are available as King/King or King/Twin.

Restaurant + Bar

Traditional Scottish produce.

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh's two restaurants to enjoy. Commons Club occupies the oldest part of the building, where oak paneling, an open fire, and exposed 19th-century stonework set the scene for a menu built around the best of Scottish produce. Eve is the hotel's all-day dining venue, open from breakfast through late evening and equally popular with locals and visitors. A live entertainment program and outdoor courtyard make it one of the Old Town's more reliably buzzing spots.

Commons Club Bar overlooks one of Edinburgh's most picturesque streets and strikes a balance between the building's original character, with its exposed stonework and bespoke artwork, and a drinks menu that feels thoroughly current. The cocktail list is seasonal and inventive alongside the classics, and the wine and champagne selection is well considered.
