Edinburgh hotel hosting rooftop live entertainment with stunning castle views

A city centre hotel in Edinburgh is hosting a series of free rooftop events.

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh is getting into the swing of summer with an array of Scottish musical talent, including Beth Karp and Kohla, set over the city's iconic skyline. Kicking off on June 9, the live entertainment will be held every Friday and Saturday from 7.45pm.

The free events hope to give a platform to up-and-coming artists, with 'unmatched' views and refreshing drinks. Blankets will also be on hand for the chillier evenings.

After the sun sets, guests can enjoy more live entertainment, drinks and delicious food at Eve and Commons Club which will both be open till late. The Sunset Session events nod to Virgin’s musical roots, with Virgin Hotels founder, Sir Richard Branson, starting independent record label, Virgin Records, back in 1972.

David Moth, Virgin Hotels Vice President of Operations and Interim General Manager of Virgin Hotels Edinburgh said: "We are thrilled to launch the highly anticipated Sunset Sessions at Virgin Hotels Edinburgh, as it promises to be an extraordinary experience for our guests.

"Our rooftop offers the absolute best vantage point to witness the sun as it sets over Edinburgh’s beautiful skyline and we’ve secured some of the very best up and coming musical talent from around Scotland to perform. We look forward to welcoming everyone to join us throughout the summer to enjoy unbeatable views, drinks and live entertainment."
