New Neighbor: Virgin Hotels New York City
We’re thrilled to welcome Virgin Hotels New York City to the neighborhood located at 1227 Broadway. This is the newest addition to the Virgin Hotels collection in the heart of the NoMad neighborhood, offering a playful yet sophisticated hospitality experience for travelers and locals alike. Developed by architecture firms MARKZEFF and Stantec, the new hotel features 460 chambers (guest rooms), suites, and penthouses across 39 floors as well as entertainment spaces including Everdene, an expansive indoor-outdoor dining and cocktail venue and an outdoor Pool Club exclusive to guests, opening mid-spring.
“Virgin Hotels New York City goes well beyond offering a comfortable place to sleep,” says Candice A. Cancino, General Manager at Virgin Hotels New York City. “With stunning views, delicious food and beverage, convivial spaces to work or play, and exciting happenings from day-to-night, the hotel is poised to become a cultural epicenter for both local New Yorkers and guests from around the globe.”
Pairing the contemporary dynamism of New York City with the signature Virgin aesthetic, the hotel has notable and subtle elements that reference the iconic location and brand. Upon entering the lobby, one’s greeted by the “Where’s Richard?” mural painted by Nigel Sussman which invites guests to play a Virgin-themed version of “Where’s Waldo?” Heading further inside you’ll find a classic red staircase connecting the third and fourth floors as well as additional red accents such as chamber doors. All accommodations feature floor-to-ceiling windows with cityscape views, curated amenities and range in size from 277 to 770 square feet.

Pet-friendly rooms are available.
Guests looking for a truly luxurious experience can book a stay in Sir Richard’s Flat, a 2,800-square foot suite spanning the hotel’s 35th and 36th floors. Set to open this May, the suite features two bedrooms, a walk-in bathroom with a rain-head shower and bench, a soaking tub, and a vanity, a kitchenette, 24-foot windows with panoramic views of the city, and a curated art collection.
