W Hotels’ mission is to Ignite Curiosity, Expand Worlds. We are a place to experience life. We’re here to open doors and open minds. With us, there’s always more. We dare to deliver a different kind of luxury. One that revels in bold ideas and indulges in the unexpected. We believe luxury is the freedom to be yourself and explore desires: whatever, whenever. Let go, let loose - that’s half the fun.

Our target consumer is The Connector. Our guests are curious, charismatic, free-spirited, and magnetic. They are the spark that makes it happen. The ones who never stop exploring, pulled to the energy of people and places. True to themselves and open to everything. They make the world their own. They bring the crowd together.
