More about this place
Virgin Hotels Edinburgh offers an Old Town base with dining and social spaces within the hotel. It suits couples and returning visitors who want central city evenings as part of the stay.
An Old Town location and in-house dining and social spaces make this a choice for travellers who want evenings close to their room. Compare the exact accommodation category and occupancy, especially if sharing beyond a couple. The appeal is city life and the historic neighbourhood; check the selected rate for breakfast and other inclusions.
