SkyBar, Rooftop bar and terrace in Edinburgh, Scotland.
SkyBar sits on the top floor of the Doubletree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre, housed within a historic A-listed building, with a contemporary outdoor terrace and an indoor lounge area. The rooftop position offers sweeping views across Edinburgh Castle and the surrounding cityscape.
The building housing SkyBar is a preserved A-listed structure that maintains Edinburgh's architectural heritage while hosting contemporary uses. This approach reflects how the city integrates historic preservation with modern hospitality.
The venue hosts a weekly Sunday brunch gathering with live jazz performances and shareable platters, offering weekend visitors a relaxed way to enjoy dining and music high above the city. This regular social event draws locals and travelers looking for a mix of food and entertainment.
The bar operates primarily on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so it's worth booking ahead if you want to be sure of a spot. Groups of up to about 150 people can arrange private events with catering and audio-visual support.
The venue offers both a climate-controlled indoor space with modern furnishings and an open-air terrace, both with views extending over the city, the Firth of Forth, and the surrounding Scottish landscape. This dual setup lets visitors choose between sheltered and open seating depending on the weather.
