Virgin Hotels has opened its latest outpost in Edinburgh in a soft launch for hotel guests this summer. The property opened to the general public from the 14th of June, with phase two and the official grand opening scheduled for autumn.

The walls and ceilings throughout the restaurant were illuminated with standout works, including ‘Virgin Lips’; a custom commission by Edinburgh-based artist Wendy Helliwell which incorporated a full pair of old jeans, ‘747 Fuselage Wall Art’ giving a playful nod to Virgin Atlantic, and ‘Queen of Dreams’ by Alan Macdonald inspired by Mary Queen of Scots.
