The first hotel under the new Virgin Hotels brand has begun taking booking from guests for stays from October 15.
Announced in 2010 by Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, the four-star lifestyle brand is making its debut in a 27-story Art Deco building in Chicago’s Loop district.
It will offer 250 guest rooms, 40 one-bedroom suites and two rock star suites and will feature meeting spaces, restaurants, lounges and other public areas.
The hotel’s website went live this week, and the operator has also released a video explaining the hotel concept. [SCROLL DOWN TO VIEW THE VIDEO]
