A LUXURY hotel in Edinburgh has unveiled three summer terraces providing 360-degree views of Scotland’s capital.
The W Hotel Edinburgh located within St James Quarter officially opened the terraces on Saturday, June 1.
Visitors will be able to choose from the SUSHISAMBA terrace, the secluded Joao’s Place terrace, or the W Deck, which provides "unparalleled" views of numerous Edinburgh landmarks including Arthur’s Seat, Calton Hill and Edinburgh Castle.
The terraces will be open seven days a week throughout the summer and feature an exclusive cocktail menu and live music.
From June 6 the W Deck will host a DJ every Thursday night between 5pm and 10pm.
During August guests will also be able to witness the nightly festival firework display from the terrace, with fire pits in place to keep them warm.
The W Deck is set to be open between 1pm and 11pm every day weather permitting.
The SUSHISAMBA terrace will offer dishes celebrating the food culture of Japan, Brazil and Peru from June 7, as well as a host of accompanying cocktails and a selection of both Scottish and Japanese whisky.
Joao’s Place, meanwhile, offers revellers a more secluded place to relax with a drink. The décor is inspired by the Liberdade neighbourhood of Sao Paolo, Brazil, which hosts a large population of Japanese immigrants.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
