Almost everything about doing business has changed since 2020, and corporate events top the list. Now that events of all types are back in full swing, both hosts and guests are ready for a more elevated and customized experience—something that is much different from the typical convention center and banquet hall types of corporate events that somehow became the industry standard.
Virgin Hotels Dallas has successfully raised that standard.
Everything about this sleek hotel is fresh, new, and different–particularly when it comes to events, both social and corporate. Because Virgin Hotels Dallas quietly opened just after the pandemic began, it became known locally as a staycation escape. While there are still plenty of reasons to escape to Virgin Hotels Dallas, it has also become a prime destination to do business. It’s a luxury boutique hotel that caters to business travelers and corporate groups as well as discerning leisure guests. The innovative spaces, combined with endless ideas from the creative masterminds of the hospitality and events team at Virgin Hotels Dallas, make the hotel the perfect spot for any gathering, from a small group celebrating a special occasion to a large company event for hundreds of people.
Simply put, the hotel, which is conveniently and beautifully nestled in the bustling Dallas Design District, can accomplish the ROI on whatever a company is hoping to achieve, says Michael Bridges, General Manager for Virgin Hotels Dallas.
“We have revamped everything, making Virgin Hotels Dallas a top choice for anyone booking weddings and mixers to podcasting and large-scale meetings and events,” he says. “The Design District itself is having its own renaissance, and we are a big part of that. Versatile corporate meeting spaces are conducive to capturing ROI, while also keeping other elements of fun right at your fingertips. We are anything but cookie-cutter when it comes to events.”
Virgin Hotels Dallas offers creative spaces, engaging environments, and inspirational teams that support and bring any vision to life without a hitch. The hotel has more than 15,500 square feet of versatile indoor and outdoor spaces, so there is always a personalized fit perfect for every need. The hospitality and events team at Virgin Hotels Dallas collaborates closely with clients to create exclusive meetings and events, customizing even the tiniest of details to suit individual needs. One of the most popular spaces for corporate events is the hotel’s Giant + Foyer. It features:
- Smooth acoustics, neutral tones, hardwood flooring
- A striking space that flows seamlessly between outdoor gardens and the ballroom, with plenty of natural light
- A divisible space into one, two, or three sections to perfectly accommodate a variety of group sizes
- Built-in AV components
- Exclusivity of meeting space; all attention is on the attendees

In need of something smaller? There is also the Rushmore, an intimate private meeting space that offers a sliding wood wall and custom-designed carpet illustrating Texas clichés. Floor-to-ceiling windows and built-in technology make for the perfect off-site boardroom. The Manor pays homage to Richard Branson’s recording studio as a unique creative space with a curved wall of windows and wrap-around that perfectly frame Dallas skyline views. Hand-painted gold wall coverings, white lantern fixtures, and a slatted wood ceiling give the venue a luxe flare. Ask about the option to conjoin The Manor with The Pool Club for additional space. The Pool Club is a dynamic indoor-outdoor space complete with direct access to the skyline terrace, private water closets, and glass walls that slide open—a perk when Dallas is experiencing beautiful weather.

“This is a hotel for the senses, and we’re going to hit all of them,” Bridges says. “It’s filled with wonderful textures, smells, and beauty–down to the hand-painted wallpaper in the hotel lobby. It’s a beautiful, fun hotel geared for the way creative companies and groups do business today. We are within walking distance to some of Dallas’ best restaurants and shopping and in close proximity to both airports. We are minutes from Uptown and downtown Dallas, placing guests near the best of everything Dallas offers.”
If you can imagine it, Virgin Hotels Dallas can add it to your event plan. While the hotel has welcomed a variety of companies, most often, Virgin Dallas Hotels is a top choice for non-traditional, creative, and intentionally different companies in search of a meeting destination that is as edgy as they are.
“Businesses today are putting more emphasis on how they want to see their meetings happen,” Bridges says. “A traditional meeting space—like those that typically hold trade shows or large conferences—are not what today’s workers were raised on, and it’s not where they want to be. They want something unconventional, which is why Virgin Hotels Dallas has been the right solution for them. Our creative spaces with unique design elements, restaurants and bars, rooftop gardens, and nearby walkable residential appeal to them. We are very much about the guest experience and designing an event that is exclusive to their needs.”
