Most are familiar with the brand Virgin for the gyms. At least in Italy.
In this article:
Present in major Italian cities, the fitness centers under Richard Branson's empire are beloved by stars. And by ordinary people who experience the gym as status.
However, Virgin is much much more than that: the travelers know this well, especially those who often travel in the brand's red and white planes. It is also an airline, a cruise line and - today - a hotel chain.
Currently found only in the United States, the Virgin Hotels are about to add an important pawn on American soil: the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. They will therefore land in the city where, only some time ago, he opened a exclusive adults-only hotel.
How to use your HH points in Virgin Hotels Las Vegas
Until now, Virgin Hotels were only present in Chicago, Nashville e Dallas. Next March 25 will open the doors of the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, followed in August by the Virgin Hotels New Orleans and in the fall from the Virgin Hotels New York City.
The Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will be part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, a collection of historic, independent hotels that fully represent the DNA of the city in which they stand. It will therefore enjoy theHilton Honors, the best loyalty program in the hotel industry. An added plus for a hotel that promises to be extraordinary.
Costs, moreover, are not prohibitive. Especially if you take advantage of HH points. In dollars we are talking about a range of 164 to 1,183 per night, in points it ranges from the 33k HH rising.
After Las Vegas, Virgin Hotels will open in downtown New Orleans: the property will have more than 230 rooms, a rooftop pool and bar, a gymnasium, and conference space. Finally, in the fall of this year, the long-awaited opening in Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood: 500 rooms and hypermodern design, for luxury in a 2.0 key. But the group does not intend to stop: in 2022 it will be the turn of the hotel in Edinburgh and in 2023 of that of Miami.
What Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will look like
The Virgin Hotels Las Vegas was born from the renovation of theHard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. Work began in 2020 and will result in the construction of a modern hotel & casino with 1,504 rooms, exceptionally furnished Grand Chamber Suites and Penthouse Suites (complete with beds covered by Virgin patents).
In addition to the more than 5,500-square-meter casino, the hotel boasts 2 hectares of outdoor space including poolside areas, relaxation areas and event spaces. A true oasis of luxury, in the heart of the desert.
Virgin world, from airplanes to cruises
The Virgin world deserves to be discovered, beyond the new hotels that are about to open. Some time ago we recounted our experience with the frequent flyer program And we talked about this company among the most reliable and innovative.
In 2019 Virgin rose to prominence for a reason that is at least singular: Josh Bayliss, the carrier's number one, invited ... not to fly! "It is absolutely true that at this time each of us should think seriously about whether or not we should take a plane": these are his words. A statement that fits perfectly with the mindset environmentalist of Richard Branson, the founder of the company And of the entire Virgin world.
Cruises, on the other hand, have recently been discussed because of the Scarlet Lady: the first ship dedicated only to adults, now the focus of a contest dedicated to the essential workers of the pandemic. Virgin ships are mainly oriented to the Caribbean area, but also ply the Mediterranean.
Can you go to Las Vegas now?
No, currently going to Las Vegas, as well as throughout the United States, is prohibited.
Still in effect is the ban on entry into the U.S. for travelers who, in the previous 14 days, have been in a Schengen country (including Italy). In the very rare cases where entry is permitted, it is necessary to undergo a PCR or antigen test within 3 days prior to departure-a requirement that also applies to children over 24 months of age. Airlines verify, as a prerequisite for allowing U.S.-bound passengers on board, paper or electronic documentation that the test has been performed and has been negative or, alternatively, a document proving actual recovery from Covid.
