LETTERS: Virgin boss hits back at criticism of new capital hotel
We are also excited about being able to revive two key buildings in Edinburgh’s Old Town which are on the ‘at risk’ register.
We understand the concerns from some local residents in relation to the wonderful Edinburgh library. Some residents will probably remember the tenement building which previously stood alongside the library and did so for more than 60 years.

We’re also looking into working with various local community organisations to ensure the hotel is built in keeping with the look and feel of the Old Town and the city.
We’re creating a hotel for the millions of people who visit Edinburgh every year and also a hotel for the people of Edinburgh, supporting artists, musicians and local businesses, while also creating jobs for the local community.
Virgin Hotels is looking forward to working with local residents and I’m confident that this new hotel will be a huge success for Edinburgh.
