“This W is aiming to be an evolved version of itself. So, the vibe is a little more restrained.”

In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Studio City's indoor water park and figure-eight Ferris wheel are downstairs, with Cotai's megaresorts minutes away.
The rooms
Embroidered headboards reinterpret Chinese lacquer screens, and floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the Cotai skyline.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool sits beneath a curved mirrored canopy, bordered by teal loungers and a cocktail bar.
The spa
Express treatment stations have copper pedicure basins, and a tiered glass chandelier hangs over the curved marble reception.
The gym and sauna
The 24-hour gym holds an OUTRACE functional training rig, and the thermal suites include a Himalayan salt sauna.
Restaurant
Hawker Hawker
Woven pendant lights and neon accents brighten the dining room, where live cooking stations serve Asian and international buffets.
At the table
Cantonese restaurant DIVA seats guests under golden domed cages, and the ground-floor Living Room pours coffee and evening cocktails.
How it began
Planners steered the tower footprint away from the adjacent 15-hectare ecological reserve to safeguard native coastal wetlands.
