W Lounge

A 3300 square feet luxurious facility with a unique W experience where Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) Members and executive guests are honored to access.

Inspired by an imaginary magazine editor’s salon, the W Lounge resonate the feel of curated rather than designed, with elements of eclectic collections as if they were effortlessly collected over time. By adopting an old mansion “layout”, guests are invited to venture in different “rooms” for a glimpse of an editor’s life.
