After a 12 hour flight it was a relief to finally spot the statement shiny W outside the taxi window. The hotel has just had a revamp, and like the other properties in the W hotel group, the public spaces are all very glitzy and sleek…yes there’s the token disco balls…whilst inside the rooms are all white with the odd splashes of colour coming from soft furnishings and accessories.
