What You Need to Know

The Look of Virgin Hotels New York

If you’re looking for a hotel that’s slightly edgy, super playful, and boasts tons of on-site amenities, this is the spot. Virgin’s signature red can be spotted around the hotel’s common areas and guest rooms (called “chambers”), and common spaces are also filled with artwork, including a Richard Branson-themed mural modeled after the popular “Where’s Waldo.” 

Of course, the 460 rooms and suites are perfectly appointed with comfortable beds (patented and custom-designed to feature a nook that doubles as a seat and an end table that extends for dining in bed), unique artwork, a stocked mini-fridge, and a stunning bathroom featuring red shower heads. Rooms feature adjustable spaces for living, dressing, and sleeping, as well as epic views out of floor-to-ceiling windows. 

The Vibe of Virgin Hotels New York

Playful and quirky, just like Branson himself, is the best way to describe Virgin Hotels New York. The hotel features incredible city views out of massive windows nearly everywhere, plus the Everdine bar is a stylish hotspot for DJs and live music that attracts locals as much as it does visitors.
