Virgin Hotels has unveiled plans for a Miami hotel and residential complex.

Construction of the building is set to begin next year, and an opening is slated for 2023.

Located in the city’s Brickell neighborhood, the 40-story hotel will have 250 guestrooms, 15 floors of furnished residential units, a spa and 15,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

The Virgin Hotels Miami will house several food and beverage venues, including Commons Club — the brand’s signature restaurant, bar and “modern social club” — and a beer garden that will also function as a live music venue.

The hotel’s Funny Library Coffee Shop will showcase coffee from Laughing Man, a brand co-founded by actor Hugh Jackman, and offer guests access to communal workspace.

A three-floor terraced rooftop venue, featuring a pool and lounge, will also be available for events.

The Virgin Hotels Miami will join the brand’s existing portfolio of hotels in Chicago, San Francisco and Dallas (soon to open).

Other Virgin hotels are under development in New York, Nashville, New Orleans, Edinburgh, Palm Springs and the Silicon Valley. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, which is undergoing renovations ahead of a rebranding, is scheduled to reopen as under the Virgin brand next year.
