"These suites garnered the nomenclature as they are the suites where Sir Richard Branson stays when he is in town, featuring one-of-a-kind artwork and are equipped with the brand’s iconic bed along with other luxurious appointments throughout.

"Funky designs (think: a sculpture of a man in a bunny costume playing chess in the library) are some of the first eye-catching clues that this hotel is more than just a place to sleep and shower."

"Virgin Hotels New Orleans is like no other place to stay in the city. Guests who visit during Mardi Gras are likely to discover some special surprises."

There’s nothing common about the Commons Club at the Virgin Hotels New Orleans, which opened in the Warehouse District on Aug. 18...Thanks to chef Alex Harrell’s deceptively simple menu of elevated seasonal cuisine and a fetching design by New Orleans-based Logan Killen Interiors, the new restaurant is a welcoming space.

“Each of our hotels embrace the local flavor of the cities they are in, and Virgin Hotels New Orleans is certainly a fun one."

"Former Sylvian, Angeline, and Elysian Bar chef Alex Harrell is at the helm of the restaurant, which opens Wednesday, August 18, along with the hotel.."
