Virgin Hotels Review
VIRGIN DOESN’T DO BORING HOTELS
Virgin Hotels takes the personality behind the larger Virgin brand and translates it into hospitality: playful, stylish, a little cheeky, and very intentionally different from the traditional business hotel. This is a hotel brand that wants you downstairs.
The social spaces are a major part of the appeal. Restaurants, bars, rooftops, pools and lounges give the properties energy beyond the guest room, making Virgin a natural fit for city weekends, birthdays, couples trips and travelers who actually plan on enjoying their hotel.
We also like that Virgin manages to be fun without feeling young just for the sake of being young. It's grown, social and a little sexy without turning the whole property into a party hotel. That puts it in an interesting space between traditional upscale hotels and louder lifestyle brands like W.
And with the larger Virgin name behind it, there's already a built-in association with travel, entertainment and doing things a little differently.

Different
Virgin Hotels feels like the cool grown-up hotel that still remembers how to have fun. Good bar. Good rooftop. Good music. Interesting crowd. And enough personality that you remember where you stayed.
For Black travelers, that's a combination we appreciate. We want somewhere that looks good when we walk in dressed for dinner but doesn't suddenly become a library after 9 p.m.
The portfolio isn't nearly as large as some brands above it, which keeps Virgin from climbing higher.
But when there's a Virgin where we're going, we're definitely checking the rate.
