WOW suites and two lavish Extreme WOW suites –
the W brand’s take on the Presidential suite. Boasting
an impressive 183 square metres of innovative design,
an open plan bathroom complete with a hot tub, walkin wardrobe and large round bed with extraordinary
views of the Royal Palace, the Extreme WOW Suite is
the city’s most glamourous crash pad. W Amsterdam
features SPG Keyless, the hospitality industry’s first
keyless entry system enabling guests to use their
smartphone or wearable device as a room key.
MEDIA CONTACTS:
Guests arrive in style when they check in at the
rooftop W Lounge, the W brand’s re-interpretation
of the traditional hotel lobby, on the sixth floor of the
Exchange building. With four outdoor terraces and
floor-to-ceiling windows, guests can enjoy spectacular
360-degree views over canal houses and heritage sites.
Looking out to the Royal Palace and lively historic
centre, WET DECK is Amsterdam’s first rooftop pool.
Spanning 22 metres and heated in winter, WET DECK
is where Amsterdam’s style-savvy locals mix it up over
open air cocktails and city scape views. Also located
on the rooftop, MR PORTER blends qualities of a
modern steakhouse with the sophisticated ambiance
of a chic, high-energy lounge.
Across the street in the Bank building, THE
DUCHESS opened in June to rave reviews, combining
an eclectic taste of London and Viennese grandeur.
The building also houses FIT® state-of-the-art fitness
centre; a spa located amid the original bank vaults;
and XBANK, a 700 square metre exhibition gallery
and immersive creative incubator concept space that
connects local design, fashion and music talents – all
of which will be unveiled in early 2016 together with
the remaining guest rooms.
W Amsterdam will offer 414 square metres of
ultra-modern meeting and event space, including a
Great Room which can be divided into three smaller
meeting rooms.
