Tourism in the Southeast Asia continues to grow and international brands have realized to do well they must find a way to infuse local culture into high-end amenities guests are accustomed to from home.

The W Singapore Sentosa Cove is a resort-style property on the island of Sentosa – home to Singapore’s first integrated resort. And with a significant range of facilities in an “urban resort” style complex, the 240-room W Singapore also has many of the features of an integrated resort. These include two restaurants, a bar, the ‘W Lounge’ experience, pool deck and bar, Away Spa, and more than 1,500m² of meeting and event space.

All guest rooms come equipped with 40” LED HD TVs, surround sound systems, high-speed Wi-Fi, and MP3 player ‘plug-and-play’ device.

“Singapore is a dynamic city and global hub for the world’s jetsetters,” said Vincent Gillet, Global Brand Leader for W Hotels & Le Méridien.
