The W Hotels brand and design

W Hotels was created in 1998 by Barry Sternlicht, then CEO of Starwood Hotels and Resorts. The brand introduced a modern approach to luxury hospitality distinguished by its design elements: dark and muted color palettes, brushed metal accents, and all-white bedding developed specifically for the brand. Rather than a traditional formal lobby, W Hotels features a 'living room' concept—a central gathering space organized around the bar where guests can socialize.

Since 2016, W Hotels has been part of Marriott International following Marriott's acquisition of Starwood. The brand currently operates approximately 70 properties worldwide.
