The hotels

Bali · Seminyak
W Bali - Seminyak
2011 · 233 rooms
A beachfront resort of 152 rooms, six suites and 75 pool villas on Jalan Petitenget in Seminyak, on Bali's south-west coast, opened in 2011 as the third W in Asia-Pacific. It is built for Seminyak's nightlife, around a rice-terrace pool with resident DJs and a beach club, in a modern take on Balinese design by SCDA.

Bangkok · Sathorn
W Bangkok
2012 · 403 rooms
A 403-room hotel in a 31-storey glass tower on North Sathorn Road in Bangkok's Silom–Sathorn business district, paired with The House on Sathorn, an 1889 neo-classical mansion next door that was the Russian embassy until 1999 and now holds its restaurants and bars. The tower's interiors by SODA set W's neon edge against Thai myths and folklore.

Dubai · Palm Jumeirah
W Dubai - The Palm
2019 · 349 rooms
A 349-room beach resort on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, opened in February 2019 as the first W Escape in the Middle East, with a private beach and a WET Deck of wave-shaped pools facing the Dubai skyline. Its design plays desert dunes and coastline against the geometry of the city's towers, from a five-storey atrium lobby to a 30-metre glass 'Soundwave' sculpture.

Edinburgh · St James Quarter
W Edinburgh
2023 · 244 rooms
W Edinburgh has 199 rooms and 45 suites across three buildings around St James Square: the 12-storey Ribbon, the newly built stone-faced Quarter House, and James Craig Walk, a heritage-listed Georgian terrace of 1775. SUSHISAMBA and the W Lounge occupy the top floors, whose terraces look out from Arthur's Seat to the sea.

Florence · Unità Italiana
W Florence
2025 · 119 rooms
W's second Italian hotel, opened in July 2025 in the former Grand Hotel Majestic on Piazza dell'Unità Italiana, beside Santa Maria Novella. The building is Lando Bartoli's 1968 rationalist block of stone, slit windows and bronze fins, now holding 102 rooms, 16 suites and a penthouse around a part-covered courtyard, with a rooftop bar facing the Duomo.

Hong Kong · West Kowloon
W Hong Kong
2008 · 393 rooms
A 393-key W hotel in the Cullinan towers above Kowloon Station in West Kowloon, connected directly to the Elements mall and looking across Victoria Harbour to Hong Kong Island. A nature-themed interior by two design studios, with the WET pool on the 76th floor, 211 metres up.

Osaka · Shinsaibashi
W Osaka
2021 · 337 rooms
Japan's first W, opened on 16 March 2021 on Midosuji Boulevard in Minami Semba, between Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. Tadao Ando's black monolith façade hides interiors by the Amsterdam studio concrete, in neon and colour, across 337 rooms and suites up to the 27th floor.
1 MICHELIN Key

Rome · Ludovisi
W Rome
2021 · 162 rooms
W's first hotel in Italy, opened in December 2021 across two adjoining 19th-century palazzi on Via Liguria, near the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. Behind the period façades Meyer Davis set colourful leather furniture against stone walls, with a Sicilian restaurant, an open-air courtyard and a sixth-floor deck and rooftop pizza bar.

Taipei · Xinyi
W Taipei
2011 · 405 rooms · Renovated 2025
A hotel of 405 rooms and suites in a 31-storey tower above Taipei City Hall Bus Station on Zhongxiao East Road, in the Xinyi business district, with City Hall MRT station beneath it and Taipei 101 about ten minutes' walk away. The lobby, bar, French restaurant and outdoor pool share the 10th floor; GA Design International's 'nature electrified' interiors were toned down to wood, green and sunset orange in a refurbishment finished in January 2025.
