W Hotels’ mission is to Ignite Curiosity, Expand Worlds. We are a place to experience life. We’re here to open doors and open minds. With us, there’s always more. We dare to deliver a different kind of luxury. One that revels in bold ideas and indulges in the unexpected. We believe luxury is the freedom to be yourself and explore desires: whatever, whenever. Let go, let loose - that’s half the fun.

Our target consumer is The Connector. Our guests are curious, charismatic, free-spirited, and magnetic. They are the spark that makes it happen. The ones who never stop exploring, pulled to the energy of people and places. True to themselves and open to everything. They make the world their own. They bring the crowd together.

W Prague will feature 161 rooms and suites, a rooftop bar and an outdoor terrace, the perfect location for style-savvy locals and guests to enjoy sweeping cityscape views and a fabulous cocktail and culinary experience. The hotel will feature the W Lounge, the brand’s spin on the hotel lobby, along with several restaurants and bars and some ultra-modern event space. In addition, guests are invited to experience the indoor WET pool deck, FIT fitness center and AWAY Spa. Throughout the hotel, the brand’s unique Whatever/Whenever service is always available, delivering whatever they want, whenever they want it.

W is a destination, more than a hotel. An iconic lifestyle brand, offering guests unprecedented insider access to a world of “Wow” through contemporary cool design, fashion, nightlife, celebrities, and entertainment.
