Big wow at the big W

Last week, W Hotels Worldwide announced the opening of the first W Hotel in Singapore with the debut of W Singapore – Sentosa Cove and The Residences at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove, which marks the W brand’s 43rd hotel worldwide, and the seventh W Hotel in Asia Pacific.

W Singapore – Sentosa Cove premiered Island Glamour Unleashed to more than 1,000 stylish, well-heeled guests in celebration of its recent opening. Guests enjoyed a global line-up of emerging DJs, cutting-edge performances, pulsating music and bold fashion, curated by local insiders as well as W Hotels Global Music Director Michaelangelo L’Acqua. 

The event welcomed a who’s who of Singapore, including local celebrities, taste-makers and hip individuals, including Kit Chan, Zoe Tay, Andrej Pejic, Stephanie Carrington, Jaymee Ong and Dominic Lau.

A global mix of renowned and emerging DJs and performers converged at W Singapore to celebrate the hotel’s premiere. An opening show, featuring the Wrecking Orchestra dance crew from Japan, mesmerised the crowd with an incredible display of dance manoeuvres illuminated by incandescent lights. 

Superstar British DJ Mark Ronson then took control of the decks and electrified the night at his first ever performance in Singapore. Known for his diverse, genre-spanning selection and rock influence, he brought Hollywood glamour to the premiere event. 

Opening for Ronson was Avan Lava, an emerging Indie band from New York City whose unique sounds comes from a mixture of electronica, pop and R&B. Avan Lava represents the excitement and vibrancy of the New York music scene, a city that inspired the origins of the W Hotel brand. 

Owned and developed by an affiliate of City Developments Limited, W Singapore is an urban oasis located on Sentosa, the city’s most glamorous island, only minutes away from downtown Singapore. Designed by London-based architects WATG and renowned design firm Rockwell Group, W Singapore has been inspired by the buzzing energy of the city set against Sentosa’s natural surroundings to create a new scene in this international capital. 

The hotel offers a fully integrated lifestyle experience, featuring 240 guest rooms and suites, two signature restaurants, a destination bar, the W Lounge experience.
