Posted: 21 Sep 2010, 21:31Virgin hotels were about in the 80s / 90s - the Mickleover Court hotel near Derby used to be one. It was re-branded as a Menzies Hotel - not sure what happened, and why the re-launch.

Indeed, for which franchisee pays, plus their management fees to Virgin Hotels ... as I say, tough call, I just don't think the Virgin brand is that strong in the US yet apart from in a handful of cities and even then ... but it should present better miles earning opportunities!
