San Francisco<\/strong>\u2014Virgin Hotels, a division of Sir Richard Branson\u2019s Virgin Group, continues its aggressive expansion campaign, and the next stop is San Francisco. The company just announced plans to open Virgin Hotels San Francisco, which will feature 196 chambers and grand chambers\u2014that\u2019s Virgin-speak for glorious guestrooms and suites\u2014in the city\u2019s trendy South of Market district.<\/p>\n

Paradigm Hotels Group is developing the new-build property, and Virgin will manage it. \u201cSan Francisco has always been one of our key target markets and we were so happy to find our space in SoMa,\u201d Raul Leal, CEO of Virgin Hotels, told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. \u201cThe timing couldn’t be better, as the SoMa neighborhood is really expanding both from a cultural and real estate standpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the address of 250 Fourth St., Virgin Hotels San Francisco will be surrounded by a bevy of popular destinations ranging from Yerba Buena Gardens to the 700,000-square-foot Moscone Center convention and exhibition facility. \u201cWe’re excited to get in ahead of the\u00a0expansion of the convention center, which is critical to the city\u2019s success, and the new Transbay Transit Center, which will link San Francisco and other key cities and neighborhoods,\u201d added Leal.<\/p>\n

Adhering to the lifestyle hospitality brand\u2019s objective of intermixing \u201ca passion for food and beverage with music and culture,\u201d Virgin Hotels San Francisco will feature dining options, drinking outlets, meeting spaces and the brand\u2019s signature The Commons Club, a contemporary social hub of sorts.<\/p>\n

Virgin Hotels San Francisco will debut in the summer of 2017. \u201cWe have a solid base of Virgin fans due to Virgin America\u2019s popularity in San Francisco, so we\u2019re hoping to bridge that hospitality gap for those travelers by providing them with a Virgin Hotels experience,\u201d Leal said. The San Francisco location will mark the second Virgin Hotels property; the first opened in Chicago in 2015<\/a>. Next to see the Virgin flag fly will be New York City and Dallas, where projects are presently under construction<\/a>. Hotels in New Orleans<\/a>, Silicon Valley, Nashville and Palm Springs will soon follow.<\/p>\n
