Luxurious Hotel Stays That Check
All of Our Boxes

Virgin Hotels New York
New York, NY

When planning a trip to NYC, a city with endless possibilities, you don’t want to miss a beat. That’s why staying somewhere that has it all is key. At Virgin Hotels New York, you can rest easy (literally—the beds here are patently plush) knowing you’re in a place that’s in tune with the city’s vibrant energy. Located in the trendy NoMad area, you’re in the heart of the action and just south of the Empire State Building—the perfect backdrop for a photo at the hotel’s fourth-floor rooftop pool. Stretch out on a lounger or in a private cabana, sipping seasonal cocktails 60 feet above Broadway. Fuel up with breakfast at Everdene, the hotel’s third-floor dining spot, before setting out to explore the city. Skip the NYC lines and impossible reservations and head back to the hotel for a buzzy happy hour or a delectable dinner. Three distinct spaces—a lively dining room, a cozy library, and an al fresco terrace—set the scene, with live music enhancing your experience from Thursday to Saturday.
