Rooms, logistics and practical tips for a recovery day
If you’re staying overnight, the hotel’s standard check-in is 3:00 p.m. and check-out is 12:00 p.m.; flexible check-in/check-out requests can be made to the Junction/front desk. Room types at the hotel use Virgin’s 'Chamber' and 'Sky Grand Chamber Suite' naming — examples include Chamber King, Chamber 2 Double Beds, Sky Chamber City View and Sky Grand Chamber Suite - City View.
Plan timing: Exhale Spa opens at 9:00 a.m., so morning Recovery Day Pass users can combine a spa session with rooftop pool time (pool access for all ages ends at 11:30 a.m.) or schedule a midday treatment after pool hours switch to 21+. If you aren’t a hotel guest, confirm day‑pass and public access rules when you book — the Pool Club gives priority to hotel guests and non‑guest public reservations may be available with fees.
For arrival logistics, the hotel’s address is 1227 Broadway, New York, NY 10001; valet parking is available 24/7 (overnight valet rates are published separately), and the nearest subway/transport stops are around 33rd Street and Penn Station within walking distance if you prefer public transit.
