Exploring NYC's Virgin Hotel: A Dazzling Experience.

Sir Richard Branson's new Virgin Hotel in NoMad, NYC, has quietly opened with a glam opening celebration scheduled for April 4. The hotel has 460 "chambers" with Virgin red doors, including two 2,800 square-foot two-bedroom duplexes. The glass-enclosed 38th-floor Sky Lounge event space and outdoor observation deck on the top of the tower have already been snapped up by designers for Fashion Week runway shows. The hotel's private outdoor oasis with a heated pool opens this summer, and the public can sip drinks and nibble on eats at the striking-looking sapphire blue indoor bar.
