Owned and developed by an affiliate of City Developments Limited, W Singapore is an urban oasis located on Sentosa, the city's most glamorous island only minutes away from downtown Singapore.

"W Singapore will bring a new hotel experience to Sentosa through cutting-edge design, buzzing nightlife and restaurants, and innovative happenings that showcase what's new and next for both locals and guests alike."

Island Glamour Unleashed on Sentosa Island
Located minutes away from Singapore's Central Business District, fashionable shopping and iconic sights, Sentosa Island is a modern playground for stylish locals and international jetsetters alike, offering lush rainforests, sandy beaches, award-winning spas, luxurious residences, and a deep-water yachting marina. W Singapore and The Residences at W Singapore – Sentosa Cove are situated in the heart of Sentosa and adjacent to Quayside Isle, a unique specialty retail complex with waterfront restaurants and shops.
The design of W Singapore has been inspired by modern interpretations of Sentosa's lush, tropical landscape. For instance, upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a waterfall with projections of vibrant graphic patterns on the water, while the outdoor terrace features glowing grass lights, rock-shaped daybeds, and an over-scaled rock garden. Patterns evoking Singapore's national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim Orchid, can be found throughout W Singapore and serving as inspiration for guestrooms. In the hotel's W Lounge, a DJ console carved out of natural stone creates a centerpiece, overlooking the lawn, which illuminates in the evening.
Sip and Mix, Indulge and Escape in Singapore's New Urban Oasis
Setting a new gourmet scene in Singapore, SKIRT, the W brand's first contemporary grill restaurant, makes its debut with a slick bar for sipping the latest cocktails and aging cabinets serving the finest meats, sensational seafood, signature soups and tantalizing desserts. The Kitchen Table all-day dining restaurant features an interactive experience with various live food stations and tastings at the whim of the chef. WOOBAR, W Singapore's destination nightclub, offers innovative cocktails creations by the W mixologist and sounds by the hotel's resident DJ at nightfall. For a chill out moment, WET Bar is a poolside spot to socialize, sip and nibble under Singapore's glistening sun.
