Virgin Hotels New York City delivers a modern, boutique experience right in the heart of Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood, making it a top pick for travelers who want a stay that’s both stylish and vibrant in one of the world’s most iconic cities. The hotel’s central location means you’re just steps from world-class dining, shopping, and several major NYC landmarks, yet the property itself feels like a destination worth lingering in.

Lobby bar
The thoughtful design of the guest "chambers" sets this property apart. Each room features a signature layout with separate lounging and dressing areas, comfortable bedding, a tech-savvy setup, and large windows that let in plenty of light—ideal for leisure and business travelers alike.

Dining and social experiences here are diverse and distinctly Virgin. Everdene, located on the third floor, serves as the vibrant heart of the hotel with contemporary New American cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline—a memorable spot for breakfast or evening drinks. For warm-weather stays, The Pool Club on the fourth floor is a standout amenity: a rare outdoor pool deck with loungers and cabanas where guests can relax, sip seasonal cocktails, and take in elevated city views—a rare find in New York. Atop it all, The Riff Raff Club on the 39th floor delivers a spirited rooftop bar experience with skyline vistas and inventive cocktails by acclaimed mixologist Charles Joly, perfect for clients who want lively nightlife with an elevated feel. And for those looking to relax, Exhale Spa on property offers massages and day passes.
