Virgin Hotels, the lifestyle hotel brand by Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson, announced plans to open and operate a new hotel in San Francisco. Expected to open in the summer of 2017, the San Francisco property will be managed by Virgin Hotels and developed by Paradigm Hotels Group.
"San Francisco is a dynamic, forward-thinking city that embodies so much of what Virgin Hotels stands for, and is already home to many fans of the Virgin brand,” said Virgin Hotels CEO Raul Leal.
Located South of Market just steps from Yerba Buena Gardens, Virgin Hotels San Francisco will feature 196 Chambers and Grand Chamber Suites; multiple dining and drinking outlets, including the brand's flagship space, The Commons Club; a coffee shop; numerous meeting spaces; and a rooftop bar.
"We're thrilled to partner with Virgin Hotels as it continues its expansion around the world," added Jay Singh, owner of Paradigm Hotels Group. "Virgin Hotels is a brand that knows what travelers want.”
Virgin Hotels San Francisco is a new build located at 250 Fourth Street, serving as neighbor to many cultural attractions, as well as the Moscone Center and the incoming Central Subway Station.
Virgin Hotels Chicago opened in 2015, and the brand recently announced plans to open additional properties in New Orleans, Silicon Valley, Nashville and Palm Springs. Hotels in Dallas and New York City are currently under construction, slated to open in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
