v-room opens in Manchester

Following the success of its Gatwick v-room leisure customer complex, which opened three years ago, Virgin Atlantic has duplicated the offering at Manchester.  Admission is £20 for adults, and £12 per child (infants are free), with complimentary access for all Virgin Holidays customers staying at a Platinum Collection hotel.

Described as “funky and colourful” the v-room Manchester overlooks the main passenger concourse, just yards from the departure gates.  Once checked in by Virgin Holidays staff at a dedicated reception, guests are free to enjoy three distinct areas:

• v-room for kids:
A water-themed zone for babies, toddlers and little ones to romp around in before boarding the aircraft, featuring soft play facilities, a magnetic wall and interactive games. 

• v-room for tweens:
The gaming zone, where a wall-sized screen will immerse big kids and adults in a selection of X-Box Kinect games, is joined by an ‘outside-inside’ space with free internet access, plasma TVs and funky furniture.

• v-room for adults with quiet relaxation and courtesy wi-fi.

A hot and cold buffet, serving a mixture of breakfast and brunch dishes and beverages every day, is available to all guests and is included in the entry price.  A pay bar is available. www.virginholidays.co.uk
