Onsite Research: Virgin Hotel Chicago

  • Be ready for when your guest is ready.
  • Locate in "hip" accessible areas.


The Virgin Hotels exemplify much of what Moxy aims to be: young, tech-savvy... Millennial. Yet it still has airs of old world class and elegance.

Our research at the Virgin centered around its unique gathering space, the 203 Café, located at the base of the hotel. This space wants to engender a social atmosphere & is billed as the launch point to your plans outside the hotel, morning, afternoon, or night.
