W Hotel - Property information

    What to expect: This ultra-hip hotel attracts a sophisticated crowd of 30-something leisure and business guests, and super-cool local residents. The lobby is an enticing hangout, with its post-modern décor, dramatic lighting, big bay window seats, and 18 plasma monitors above the bar that project sunsets, northern lights, and other changing scenes.
  • Amenity highlights: There’s often a 3-hour wait to get into the popular third-floor outdoor Beach bar with heated sand floor, fire pit, cabanas, and heated concrete benches, but hotel guests get top priority.
  • Insider tip: Among the more unusual aspects of this property is its unique lexicon: fitness center is “sweat,” pool is “wet,” lobby is “living room,” elevator is “lift,” cocktail lounge is “magnet,” restrooms are “w.c.”
