Launching May 1, 2026, the new V.I.P(ets) STAY offer is available across participating Virgin Hotels properties just in time to celebrate National Pet Month.

The limited-time package dedicated to the notion that "great travel moments are better when pets are a part of them" welcomes pets to be part of the Virgin Hotel experience with no fees and no size or breed limitations for four-legged guests. Travelers and their pets will have access to a warm check-in welcome and cozy in-room pet amenities.

The celebration is topped off with a specialty "Paw Star Martini," a cheeky, on-brand take on the classic cocktail with unsalted chicken broth, natural passion fruit flavor and vanilla sugar syrup, served in a pup-approved glass or bowl and garnished with a slice of crispy bacon.

“Pets are part of the family, and at Virgin Hotels, we believe they deserve the same elevated experience as our human guests,” said Claire Hilton, Chief Marketing Officer for Virgin Hotels Collection, in a statement. “With V.I.P(ets) STAY, we’re celebrating our four-legged friends and creating a welcoming environment for travelers and their pets—whether they’re big, small, or somewhere in between.”
