22 August 2009 GMT 10:11 (Santiago)
W Hotels Worldwide has unveiled its first hotel in South America, W Santiago, and The Residences at W Santiago.
The brand’s 33rd hotel is the cornerstone of a larger, mixed-use complex, Isidora 3000, which includes a convention centre, office space, and high-end retail shops.
Developed by the Territoria Group, the hotel is designed by renowned New York designer Tony Chi, who partnered with native Chilean designer Sergio Echeverria and his studio Echeverria Edwards & CIA to create cutting edge interiors for the hotel and residences that are a cool, contemporary take on the varied Chilean landscape.
Their interior design approach sets the stage for W’s signature programming, including Whiskey Blue, an amped-up hotspot on the fourth floor of the hotel, Red2 One, a breathtaking rooftop bar, and W Lounge, all from famed nightlife entrepreneurs Rande and Scott Gerber of the Gerber Group. Eateries include Osaka, the Zen-inspired restaurant featuring Peruvian-Asian cuisine by Chef Ciro Watanabe; NoSo and Terraza, two Modern French restaurants by chef Jean-Paul Bondoux; and an intimate Tea Library, managed by French chef Sebastien Fontes.
The hotel features 196 guestrooms including 20 suites, 16 Cool Corner Rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, three WOW suites, and the signature Extreme WOW Suite offering views of Santiago and the Andes Mountains.
“W Santiago marks a milestone for the W brand in South America as well as in our continued global expansion into the world’s most vibrant destinations,” said Eva Ziegler, Global Brand Leader, W Hotels Worldwide and Le Méridien. “The hotel provides guests and locals alike with W’s unique signature programming set in a cool design environment that gives a contemporary and playful nod to the breathtaking Chilean landscape and culture.”
