Reservations, which can be made via the company’s website, can now be made for Virgin Hotels Edinburgh from 1 June.

Situated in the India Buildings in Edinburgh’s Old Town, close to Edinburgh Castle, the hotel features 222 rooms and Grand Chamber Suites, as well as multiple dining and drinking outlets.

This includes Commons Club, Virgin Hotels’ flagship restaurant and bar that acts as a modern day social club, and Eve, an all-day dining space offering a "progressive approach" to late night entertainment in Edinburgh.

The hotel site is also home to a 19th-century church which has been restored and repurposed as a special event venue.

James Bermingham, chief executive officer of Virgin Hotels, said: "Edinburgh is such an iconic city, and we’re thrilled it will be the home of the first Virgin Hotels in the UK and across Europe.

"Through dynamic contextual design and neighbourhood-centric influences the new hotel will be a cultural city hub, with a design that sustains the building’s heritage while adding a vibrant new style to the area."
