Now Open: W Las Vegas

W Hotels Worldwide just celebrated the grand opening of its newest boutique hotel, the W Las Vegas

The 289-room property is the product of a transformation of a tower of the SLS Las Vegas, providing guests with a “hotel within a hotel” experience on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip

Designed by Gensler, hotel guests arrive at the Welcome Desk in the brand’s signature Living Room lobby, bar and social space. The look of the Living Room bar was inspired by casino gaming tables, while seating nooks are meant to be a nod to the hotel’s original mid-century incarnation as the Sahara. Behind the bar, a neon art "desert garden" by artist Keith Lemley transforms from day to night. 

The hotel’s 289 rooms were designed by Philippe Starck in collaboration with Gensler, and offer W bedding and Bliss bath amenities. The 2,382 square foot Extreme WOW Suite, designed by Lenny Kravitz, sits at the top of the tower, and is highlighted by a spacious balcony with sweeping mountain views.

On the roof is the WET Deck, which includes private cabanas and a bar, as well as panoramic views of the Stratosphere and desert mountains. The AWAY Spa on the hotel’s second floor offers signature spa treatments, while FIT serves as the property’s 24-hour fitness center. 

For dining, guests can check out seven restaurants, including the on-site coffee shop The Perq; Northside Café & Chinese Kitchen which is available 24 hours a day; Bazaar Meat by José Andrés; Katsuya; Cleo; 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria; and Umami Burger, Beer Garden & Sports Book.

Nearby nightlife experiences at the SLS Las Vegas include The Sayers Club, which hosts live performances by emerging and acclaimed artists; the Foxtail Nightclub, a space decorated with striking graffiti and dancers on display in large birdcages; and The Foundry, which will host music performances throughout the year. 

For private events, the hotel has three floors and 15,000 square feet of space. The adjacent SLS Las Vegas has an additional 80,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space.
