Designed by world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, W Macau Studio City takes inspiration from the glamor of 1950s Hollywood, with rich detailing, geometries and contemporary representations of Macau’s unique East-meets-West culture and history. Blue and white waves swirl across the Welcome Desks, wall structures feature picturesque seashores and mirrored ceilings to create wondrous perspectives of undersea scenes.
The design of the hotel’s 557 distinct guest rooms and suites takes its cue from classical cinema as well as Macau's maritime history. Offering views of bustling Cotai, all rooms feature a Bluetooth sound system, so guests can enjoy their favorite playlists as they craft drinks at their signature in-room W Mix Bar. On the 38th floor, the two-bedroom Extreme WOW Suite (W’s take on the Presidential) offers stunning 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, a circular bed, and a generous dining area complete with a kitchenette featuring Portuguese-style ceramic tiles.
