W Hotels Worldwide earlier this week opened the 317-room W Guangzhou, the first W Hotel in Mainland China. The 44th W Hotel globally, W Guangzhou marks a rapid Asian expansion for the W brand, which has plans to more than double its current footprint of nine hotels to nearly 20 over the next five years.
“W Hotels has a strong pipeline of global growth,
specifically in Asia, and mainland China is a highly-anticipated and strategic market for us as we continue to reinvent the luxury hotel landscape with each new W Hotel opening,” said Paul James, Global Brand Leader, W Hotels Worldwide, St. Regis, and The Luxury Collection.
The exterior, defined by sleek black glass, has been envisioned by renowned architect Rocco Yim, who has developed some of China’s most recognisable and iconic projects, including Guangzhou’s Guangdong Museum. W Guangzhou features two nightlife venues and three signature restaurants, setting a new style scene in the capital city. W Guangzhou offers China’s first AWAY Spa, the 24/7 retreat for W guests.
