Virgin Hotels, the lifestyle hotel brand by Virgin Group, plans to open a new hotel in the Design District of Dallas, Texas. Slated to welcome guests in 2018, Virgin Hotels Dallas will be located in the heart of the popular neighborhood, boasting world-class furniture showrooms, art galleries, museums, antique shops and unique new restaurants and shopping.

“We’re ecstatic to be a part of the new fabric of the Dallas Design District, and play a role in continuation of the neighborhood’s growth,” said Raul Leal, CEO, Virgin Hotels. “With chic stores, eclectic galleries and upscale restaurants, we expect Virgin Hotels Dallas to move into the neighborhood seamlessly, as its aesthetic and offerings will attract the growing local creative class and business travelers that will call the Design District home.”
