About W Hotels

W Hotels was created by Starwood under Barry Sternlicht, opening W New York in 1998. It has been part of Marriott International since 2016 and now has around 70 hotels worldwide.

What to expect

Dramatic design, a buzzing ‘living room’ lobby, bars and DJs, and a party-friendly mood, alongside luxury rooms, spas and pools. In India, W Goa opened on Vagator Beach in March 2017 as the brand’s first Indian hotel and its 50th worldwide.

Who it suits

Young-at-heart travellers, couples and groups who want nightlife and design rather than a quiet, traditional luxury hotel.

Booking tips

  • Stays earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points on eligible rates, usually when you book directly or through qualifying channels.
