Washington DC next up for Virgin Hotels
Washington DC is the next city on Virgin Hotels’ radar.
A new build has been announced for DC and is slated to open in the fall of 2019 in the Union Market area.
It will feature 178 Chambers and Grand Chamber Suites, several dining venues and the Commons Club social space.
It will also have a rooftop lounge with an infinity pool and meeting space.
"We’re thrilled to bring Virgin Hotels to Washington D.C.’s travelers and residents with an energetic, lifestyle hotel experience unlike anything currently offered in the city," said Raul Leal, CEO of Virgin Hotels.
"We’re excited to be part of the continued evolution and growth of the vibrant Union Market neighborhood."
It will be managed by Virgin Hotels and developed by D.B. Lee Development & Construction and Brook Rose Development.
Virgin currently has one hotel open in Chicago with San Francisco, Dallas, Palm Springs, Silicon Valley, New York, New Orleans and Nashville projects in the pipeline.
