I finally had the opportunity to stay at a W Hotel, which sometimes feels like a breed unto its own, hence it being a whotel and not just a hotel. When I was describing the hotel chain to some friends, I found myself saying it’s like the hotel version of Virgin Airlines. And truly, if Richard Branson were to run a boutique-y hotel, I’d imagine it to be exactly like the W.
When you come in the door, there’s a nice little threshold section with hardwood floors .
I love the openness of the suites, with the bed area and sitting area merging into one.
Off to the right are a mirror and nice padded bench.
There’s a nice open area to relax on the couch and put your feet up while watching TV or chatting.
The desk space feels modern with its simplicity and arm-less swivel chair.
The bed area with swivel TV so you can watch from the couch or bed.
The bathroom is sleek with bright lighting and glass fixtures, plus a bathrobe for lounging in.
They offer a stand-alone shower and tub for your washing and bathing desires.
A handy kitchenette offers snacks for purchase including some wine on the wall, or just plain useful things like a microwave, fridge, sink, and cupboards.
Nice pool! Oh, and they like to use simple one-word phrases, like “Wet” for the pool, “Wheels” for the valet service, and “Step” for the shower mat.
One thing I didn’t get around to getting a picture of is the carpets placed in the elevator, which say “Good Morning,” “Good Afternoon,” or “Good Evening” depending on time of day. I don’t know exactly what time they switch out each, but they sure are on top of that one!
