“Virgin Hotels Edinburgh strikes me as a place where modern design meets a historic city, though some may find the style eclipses practical comfort. The location, right in Old Town, puts you steps from Edinburgh's best attractions, but the rooftop terrace might be the hotel's true highlight with its views. Ultimately, it's a visually impressive experience that could benefit from a bit more focus on the fundamentals.”
