THE STORY: VIRGIN HOTELS MIAMI, Fl. — the Virgin Group Has Been
THE STORY: VIRGIN HOTELS MIAMI, Fl. — The Virgin Group has been smartly disrupting the travel industry for over 40 years, from land to air to sea. In 2010, Virgin Hotels was formed to join a stellar portfolio of hospitality companies led by founder Sir Richard Branson. It continues to offer the same excitement, heartfelt service and smart innovation that Virgin is known for across the board. Virgin Hotels was founded to shake up the hotel industry standard by offering a much-needed bridge between the current landscape of lifestyle and legacy hotels. CEO Raul Leal noticed that guests were being short-changed at every turn, entertainment options were stale, customer service was lacking, and there hadn’t been a significant innovative move in room design for years. Since the brand’s inception, eliminating fees and surcharges have been top priority, along with creating an experience that allows guests to feel that Virgin Hotels is their place in the city. A champion of the customer, the hotel brand offers free and fast WiFi (at unlimited bandwidth) and eliminated early check-in fees, late check-out fees, room service delivery charges, business center transactions, and other services that have caused frustration for travelers. Each property intermixes a passion for food and beverage with music and culture, fusing with the local landscape and providing a vibrant and inclusive environment for travelers and locals alike. The brand’s first property, Virgin Hotels Chicago, opened in 2015 in the heart of Chicago's Loop district in the historic Old Dearborn Bank Building at 203 N.
