We expected something a little more glamorous from the Virgin crew, but our friends at HotelChatter report that Sir Richard Branson’s first hotel will open in New Mexico. Seems the voyageur needs a little place to sleep before lifting off to orbit from Virgin Galactic Spaceport headquarters (located in New Mexico).
The good news is that there’s more coming. Branson told HotelChatter that San Francisco and Washington DC are still top targets for Virgin Hotels. Here at Gadling, we’re pretty confident we’ll see a few Virgin Hotels pop up in Chicago and New York, and even across the pond in London. *When* seems to be the multi-billion dollar question.
As for what you can expect from the hotels? Mums the word for now, but we know that each hotel will be “unique” and of “interesting, authentic and high quality” design. And, we’re quite sure there will be something special for guests when they check-in, not unlike the unique service one gets flying with the Virgin crew.
