Virgin Hotels Edinburgh
Design, Decadence, and Historic Charm in Edinburg
Set across five beautifully restored heritage buildings along the winding charm of Victoria Street, Virgin Hotels Edinburgh offers a bold reinterpretation of Scottish luxury. Rooted in one of the city’s most historic quarters, the hotel blends Victorian grandeur with contemporary design, creating a destination that is as visually striking as it is thoughtfully curated.
Guests are welcomed into Chambers and Suites featuring Virgin’s signature two-chamber layout, complete with adjustable beds, spacious rain showers, and separate dressing areas. Every detail—from cheerful SMEG fridges and decadent mini-bars to ergonomic furnishings and intuitive storage—is designed to delight and surprise.
For those hosting, the hotel presents a collection of distinctive event spaces. The show-stopping Greyfriars Hall, a restored 19th-century church, offers a dramatic setting for weddings, galas, and corporate functions. Additional venues—including the Scarlet Lounge, Commons Club Kitchen, and Commons Club Bar—are available for private dining, cocktail receptions, and intimate gatherings, each space infused with character and supported by Virgin’s signature service.
The hotel’s culinary program is a celebration of creativity and flavor. At the heart of it all is Commons Club, Virgin’s flagship restaurant and bar, where Scottish fare is served with international flair. Guests can indulge in dishes like Gigha halibut with saffron velouté, Perthshire chicken with fondant potato and Pata Negra croquet, or Isle of Mull seaweed tortellini with wild herb ricotta. The Chef’s Table offers a five-course tasting menu inspired by global influences, while the Weekend Roast—complete with unlimited sides—is a beloved ritual for locals and travelers alike.
Complementing the dining experience is a curated cocktail menu that pays homage to Scotland’s rich spirit heritage. Signature drinks like Breakfast in the Highlands and Queen Street blend local ingredients with global inspiration, served in the stylish Commons Club Bar.
From design-forward accommodations to unforgettable dining and dynamic event spaces, Virgin Hotels Edinburgh invites guests to experience the Scottish capital through a lens of sophistication, creativity, and unmistakable style.
