Whatever you want is yours at W Hotel
SINGAPORE - Whatever you want, whenever you want it - as long as it's legal.
This is the promise that the W Singapore-Sentosa Cove hotel made to guests.
Officially opened in Sept 2012, the hotel, owned by City Developments Ltd
(CDL), operates under the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Group's W brand, which is
the trendy, stylish sister to others in the Starwood portfolio, such as St
Regis, Sheraton and Westin (set to open in Marina Bay in July 2014).
"The W is always in major cities," said Rosmalia Hardman, director of sales
and marketing, pointing to upcoming W hotels in Asian hot spots such as Bangkok
and Shanghai. "Singapore is a choice destination. It's definitely a city that
has the kind of target audience we are aiming at - the trendy and fashionable,
those who appreciate design and style. That's what the W is about." The hotel
is the hospitality component of the integrated Quayside Isle which CDL won the
right to develop in a $255 million bid in a public tender back in 2006.
According to Ms Hardman, the W expects to see a mix of both business and
leisure travellers when it's fully up and running.
