DALLAS
Virgin Hotels, Dunhill Partners and Gatehouse Capital have broken ground on Virgin Hotels Dallas. The groundbreaking ceremony, held on location on Monday, October 17, marks Virgin Hotels' second property currently under construction, behind Virgin Hotels New York City.
Virgin Hotels Dallas will open its doors at the end of 2018. There was no official word on meeting space at the hotel, but the Virgin Hotels Chicago offers meeting space for up to 120 guests.
Located in the up-and-coming Design District on Hi Line Dr. and Turtle Creek Blvd., Virgin Hotels Dallas will aim to deliver a one-of-a-kind hotel experience. The hotel will feature more than 200 rooms or “Chambers,” including Grand Chamber Suites, and will offer multiple dining and drinking outlets, including a pool deck and bar, a rooftop lounge, and the brand's flagship space, The Commons Club.
"We couldn't have found a more perfect city than Dallas and a more perfect neighborhood than the Design District to continue our expansion of Virgin Hotels across America," said Raul Leal, CEO of Virgin Hotels. "We're so excited to welcome guests and locals alike to experience all that our brand has to offer – from elevated cuisine and cocktails to comfortable and spacious Chambers for work, sleep and play."
The brand's first hotel, Virgin Hotels Chicago, is now open with Nashville, Palm Springs and New York hotels slated to open next. Virgin Hotels continues to explore properties in cities such as Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Austin, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and London.
