Book now with Booking.com

The red door of Virgin Hotels Edinburgh opens onto Victoria Street, just off the Royal Mile in the Old Town, with Edinburgh Castle and the historic sights of the neighbourhood to explore. This five star dog friendly hotel takes dogs in all its chambers and suites, up to two per chamber, with no size or breed restrictions.

Your dog arrives to a handmade tartan bed crafted locally by Bark & Hare, food and water bowls, a cosy blanket, a towel and plenty of treats, and the team are on hand with lots of fuss. In public spaces dogs stay on a lead. The boutique in the Funny Library sells tartan collars, leads and bandanas from Bark & Hare for exploring the Old Town together. The hotel doesn't say whether dogs may be left alone in the chamber, so ask before you plan an evening without yours.

Dogs are welcome in Eve and the Commons Club restaurant, though not in the Commons Club Kitchen, and if you would rather stay in, Bonnar's Dog Menu brings freshly prepared favourites straight to the room. The Scottish Table is served at Commons Club, afternoon tea comes every day in the Oculus Lounge, and the menus run from oysters on ice to whisky on the rocks.

Every chamber has a red SMEG fridge and a yoga mat, and the gym is open around the clock for residents. Your dog's nearest walk on Wildpack, Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags Circular, is 1.2 miles away, and Burntisland Beach, the closest dog friendly beach in Wildpack's listings, is 7.8 miles off.
