    the Playhouse theatre

    Edinburgh boasts many theatres, providing an impressive array of culture from Hip Hop to Verdi. The city’s flagship theatres The Playhouse, The Traverse, The Festival Theatre and The Lyceum present fresh creations each season to appeal to all tastes. In addition there are several smaller theatres which host edgy, provocative productions from Tennessee Williams to Dennis Potter.

    Of course, culture is intrinsic to Edinburgh, thanks to the annual Edinburgh International Festival and The International Fringe Festival, which brings an exhilarating mayhem to the capital every August. With over 1,000 shows presenting some 9,000 performances, it is the must-do event for Theatre and Music Lovers. The city truly comes alive during ‘The Festival’, taking on a sophisticated continental air.

    Holyrood apartHOTEL offers the perfect base from which to enjoy and participate in the diverse choice of entertainment, comedies, drama and dance, and music of every genre can be enjoyed.
