W Hotels is the Marriott brand dedicated to travelers who seek design and entertainment in addition to luxury.
Among the 31 brands in the portfolio of the world's largest hotel chain the iconic W is synonymous with out-of-the-box hotels. There are several reviews on TFC of hotels in this chain. If I was disappointed at Times Square, where the W in the heart of Manhattan. absolutely fails to convey the emotions that it would be logical to expect, so it was not in Muscat and to Bangkok. Some of the reviews I have already published while others will come in the coming months from Los Angeles to Hong Kong via Bali.
The distinctive shape of W hotels.
There is one skyscraper that has defined the image in the W hotel world, and it is the shape of the hotel in the heart of Barcelona's harbor, also replicated on the other side of the world. In Sydney, almost simultaneously with Scotland, the new W will open its doors, with the small difference that this hotel was ready to open in spring 2020 and has since waited nearly four years to accommodate the first travelers.
It is a safe bet that the Edinburgh cylinder will soon be "installed" in other destinations around the world as well.
New opening W Edinburgh
Preparing to make its debut in Scotland this November is W Edinburgh. Located in the city's newest neighborhood, St James, is nestled in an elegant atmosphere with first-class boutiques and stores that hotel guests can conveniently walk to.
Long-awaited reservations are now open for this hotel that redefines the city's skyline with its visionary design, eclectic dining offerings, and a spirit that invites sociability inspired by its creative environment. From the Ribbon Building to the James Craig Walk and Quarter House, each of the 199 rooms and 45 suites, many with outdoor terraces, offer a new perspective on the city. Interior designers Jestico + Whiles have taken the best of Scotland with locally based influences and creative collaborations reflected throughout the design.
"Thanks to its unparalleled cultural richness and vibrant arts scene, Edinburgh matches W Hotels' legacy of welcoming local creativity and talent," explains Agnieszka Rog-Skrzyniarz, Vice President Luxury Brands, Europe, Marriott International. "This property is destined to become an exceptional destination hotel unlike any other in the city, igniting guests' curiosity and attracting locals drawn to the unique energy of the W brand.
The hotel's upper floors will bring energy and elegance to Edinburgh's vibrant social scene with the W Lounge, SUSHISAMBA restaurant, Joao's Place cocktail bar and terrace, chef's table, and rooftop with panoramic views of the capital's historic skyline. W Lounge reinvents Gaelic cuisine day and night, and the exclusive W Deck rooftop rewards visitors with the finest 360-degree views of Edinburgh and beyond.
"W Edinburgh does more than put you in the center of Scotland's historic and culturally rich capital city-it immerses you in the spirit of the festival capital of the world. - says Ken Millar, General Manager, W Edinburgh - We can't wait to introduce our new luxury offering to guests and locals alike, and we are excited about the opening of bookings." The event spaces are state-of-the-art and the Sound Suite is perfect for musicians and podcasters.
How much does it cost to sleep at W Edinburgh
If it belongs to the list of the most luxurious insignia the rooms cannot be cheap, and this W Hotel is no exception.
Currently priced for the first weekend in December, great for going to see the Christmas markets in Scotland's capital city, the basic room is priced at over €500 per night, while the availability of premium nights has not yet been uploaded I imagine the cost per night will be no less than 80/90k Bonvoy points per night.
