W Hotels lands in Macau
W Hotels has announced the opening of W Macau – Studio City, marking the brand’s debut in Macau. Forming part of Melco Resorts & Entertainment’s integrated resort of Studio City on Cotai Strip, the hotel has been designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.
W Macau – Studio City takes inspiration from the glamour of 1950s Hollywood, with rich detailing, geometrical shapes and contemporary representations of Macau’s culture. The design of the hotel’s 557 guestrooms and suites takes its cue from classical cinema, as well as Macau‘s maritime history. Ranging from 37 to 258m², all rooms offer views of the city, with the two-bedroom Extreme Wow Suite, located on the 38th floor, even offering floor-to-ceiling windows alongside a dining area and kitchenette.
Four distinctive restaurants and bars invite guests to sample an array of the city’s fusion-forward cuisine. Day-to-night coffee and cocktail bar Living Room, speakeasy A.P.D. (A Perfect Dose) and all-day-dining restaurant Hawker Hawker find home alongside speciality restaurant DIVA – offering a contemporary Cantonese fine dining experience – and destination bar Blind Tiger, which serves up drinks from an apothecary-inspired bar counter.
“The opening of W Macau – Studio City ushers in a new, modern style of highly experiential hospitality in a city famous for its traditional approach to opulence,” says George Fleck, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, W Hotels. “We are excited to bring the W brand’s unique and unpretentious vibe to Macau and appeal to the next generation of luxury travellers through our contextual approach to design and commitment to the guest experience. It’s a new chapter for Macau and for W.”
The hotel also comprises an indoor pool area – aptly named Wet – as well as a jacuzzi, cool-down pool, and a communal steam and sauna room. A fitness space and spa are also available for further wellness endeavours.
Spanning 600m² across seven customizable rooms, the Academy is the hotel’s meeting and events space, equipped with an open kitchen and beverage station, while W Macau – Studio City also features Greater China’s first W Sound Suite, the brand’s signature recording studio experience.
