The new Virgin Hotels New York City expects to offer travelers something they can’t easily find anywhere else, a difficult task considering that New York seems to have it all already, but the company seems confident about this.

Opening rates start at $595, and there are special sales and offers for those booking soon. According to the information shared by Virgin, these are the hotel’s main amenities and features:
- It has 460 Chambers with floor-to-ceiling windows. Certain rooms have “unparalleled views of the Empire State Building, the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop, and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade”.
- The entire third floor is the Everdene, a beautiful dining and drinking area.
- On the fourth floor, another restaurant will open its doors later this year.
- There’s an area to read and work called the Library.

Guests can also download Virgin Hotels App and request services like their vehicle from the valet, chat with the concierge, order room service, and even control room temperature.
The design and architecture were managed by the design firms MARKZEFF and Stantec. “As our first hotel in New York City, we wanted to create a concept that was unique yet thoughtful, fusing together the local landscape with the spirit of Virgin,” said James Bermingham, CEO of Virgin Hotels, and added: “We're looking forward to becoming one of the most sought-after hotels around.”
Virgin Hotel Experience
The hotel chain already has properties in Nashville, Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, and New Orleans. The company expects to open another location in Miami and Denver in 2025. The concept of these hotels combines music, local culture, culinary experiences, and vibrant environments for travelers.
For now, travelers visiting New York City can stay at the new Virgin Hotel and get to enjoy the amazing views of the city landmarks, the special Pool Club, have a delicious culinary experience, and order special craft cocktails — or enjoy a luxurious night staying in Sir Richard's Flat.
