W Hotel, a successful operation of over 10 years (1998), has changed the hospitality industry with many industry firsts:
Transformation of the typical Hotel Lobby into the W Living Room Experience
Whatever/Whenever Concierge Service
Reinvention of the Presidential Suite into W’s “Extreme Wow” and “Wow” Suites
Extending W’s lifestyle experience through: o W Hotels the Store o Branded W CD compilations released every year o Transformation of the hotel mini-bar into the W “munchies-box”
W Hotel expresses its value propositions in an interesting way. W Hotel expresses many of its value propositions by diverting attention from the cost of the reservation to all of the services and the experiences included. Upon booking, the guest will happily see the cost-value as well. Surprisingly, W Hotels range from just under $200 to $500, a substantial savings for a luxury hotel. W also has a Best Rate Guarantee, promising the best rate offered by phone or online. Guests can also use SPG (Starwood Preferred Guests) program points if they are members, contributing to even more savings (for business travelers). The service is superior, proven with the Whatever/Whenever Service, the W Pillow Menu, luggage forward, and P.A.W. (allowing your pet superior service too!). W Hotel receives added credibility for offering so many privileges to their hotel (in addition to the fitness center and spa). In providing these services, W Hotel offers their guests a lifestyle experience as well. The W’s atmosphere is unique and contemporary, appealing to all the senses with music, art, and fragrance.
