W Singapour â Sentosa Cove

Singapore

Located on a 648 square kilometer stretch of land at the southern tip of the Malaysian peninsula, Singapore consists of 64 islands. This city state is a symbol of exceptional economic growth and represents the extraordinary success of a social model based on national cohesion, making it one of the most highly reputed societies in Asia. This success centers around four basic values: economic development, security, cleanliness and materialism. Singapore is a busy and energetic land in total contrast to the more peaceful and restrained style of Malaysian life. The major activities here are eating and shopping with absolutely no time to waste. Singapore is in constant movement, as can be seen by its daring architectural projects and a constantly developing business quarter. But Singapore is also a living historical island. The city was officially founded on February 6^th, 1819 by Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles, a military officer and a British naturalist. It wasn’t until 1965 that it became independent of the British crown. The perfect blend of the historic and the contemporary makes Singapore a vibrant and emotionally rich city.

A fashionable and flashy hotel

Sentosa Cove is a relaxing island off the coast of Singapore, far from the skyscrapers and hyperactivity of the city center…a Saint-Tropez type facet of the city state. This jet set, vacation and night life spirit perfectly sums up the W Sentosa Cove, a luxury hotel where partying and celebrations are a way of life! Located on the marina, the W, which has its own mooring spots, is the ideal place for relaxation and recreation and makes no effort to conceal its fun loving atmosphere! Sensual and gastronomic pleasures are both cultivated and encouraged. The tone of the hotel is laid back, simple and dedicated to fun! Visitors are immediately plunged into a festive ambiance with vivid colors, neon lights and carefully selected music. The W is a modern hotel and proud of it. This lightness of being should not be confused with superficiality since the W also possesses a magnificent collection of contemporary art works and objects carefully collected over several years. The hotel’s symbol is the orchid (also the symbol of Singapore) which can be found in different forms such as incrusted, projected, in neon or as a motif. The infallible mark of the W is not to take itself too seriously. The names for the different services for example, are totally literal like WET for the outdoor swimming pool. At night, guests are treated to a memorable party hosted by a deejay, in a futuristic design bar. The fitness center is called FIT, the spa AWAY and the business center WIRED.

The W also provides the WHATEVER/WHENEVER, which as its name indicates is an efficient 24/7 concierge service. The rooms and suites also have amusing names like Wonderful, Spectacular, or Fabulous for the rooms, and Fantastic, Marvelous, Wow and Extreme Wow for the suites! All the accommodations are avant garde, pop and irreverent which gives the hotel its gentle off the wall spirit.

The impressive outdoor pool measures more than 1300 square meters and possesses a « feet in the water » bar ! As the deejay creates a festive atmosphere in the evening, visitors can enjoy the dreamlike view of the China Sea!
