Virgin Hotels Edinburgh is a contemporary lifestyle hotel set in a restored historic building in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, just off the iconic Victoria Street. It combines Virgin’s bold, modern design style with the character of a listed Victorian-era property, creating a striking contrast between heritage architecture and playful, design-led interiors.
The rooms (called “Chambers”) are designed with a strong focus on comfort and layout, featuring separate sleeping and dressing areas, luxurious bedding, and sleek, modern bathrooms. Interiors lean into a vibrant, boutique aesthetic with rich colours, contemporary furniture, and thoughtful details that make the space feel more like a stylish city apartment than a traditional hotel room.
What makes Virgin Hotels Edinburgh stand out is its central Old Town location paired with its lively social spaces, including its signature restaurant and bar areas that attract both guests and locals. Just steps from the Royal Mile, Grassmarket, and Edinburgh Castle, it’s especially popular for travellers who want a modern, energetic stay right in one of the most atmospheric parts of the city.
