Virgin Hotels London to be bookable with Virgin Points
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Cash bookings are now open for Virgin Hotels London, which is taking over the old Mondrian / Curtain site in Shoreditch. You can book for stays from 1st August, although it is remaining a Mondrian until 31st July. It will take a few months for Virgin Hotels to add their own touches to the rooms and public areas.
If you book via the Virgin Hotels website for a stay by 31st December you will receive a £75 credit to spent at selected on-site bars and restaurants. Rates start at £300 per night.
You will earn 7 Virgin Points per £1 spent if you book direct and sign up for the ‘The Know’ membership scheme. You need to add your Virgin Red membership number to your ‘The Know’ profile.
Virgin Hotels has confirmed that Virgin Hotels London will be bookable on Virgin Points from October. At present, the only Virgin Hotels site which can be booked with Virgin Points is Dallas, oddly.
We’ll let you know in October when points bookings are available. I believe that there are medium term plans to allow redemption bookings for all Virgin Hotels via Virgin Red. As Virgin Hotels is wholly owned by Virgin Group there should be flexibility to offer decent deals.
