Melco Resorts & Entertainment has announced a strategic partnership with Marriott International that will see the W Hotels Worldwide brand take its place at Studio City Phase 2.
W Macau – Studio City, scheduled to open at the same time as Studio City Phase 2 in December 2022, is expected to feature 557 guestrooms, including 127 suites, plus wellness facilities, a spa, fitness center and indoor swimming pool.
According to Melco, it will also aim to amplify Macau’s social scene via “high energy public spaces and culinary experiences” such as Living Room – W’s signature take on the hotel lobby – social hub WOOBAR and W Sound Suite, complete with an on-site recording studio.
Two destination dining venues will offer a menu of international cuisine with an Asian twist and a specialty restaurant featuring the finest Chinese and Portuguese dishes.
The new hotel will offer a total of 1,100 square meters of event and meeting space, adding to the variety of new attractions to be found at Studio City Phase 2 including one of Asia’s largest indoor and outdoor water parks, a six-screen Cineplex and world-class residency shows.
“Melco is thrilled to welcome W Hotels to Studio City and Macau,” said Melco’s Chief Operating Officer – Macau Resorts, David Sisk.
W Hotels is without doubt one of the world’s iconic luxury lifestyle brands that will elevate Studio City’s hospitality offerings to a new level. Together we look forward to bringing new experiences to our guests and further strengthen Macau’s proposition as a world-class leisure destination.”
Henry Lee, President, Greater China of Marriott International, added, “Macau’s super-charged energy and unique identity as an entertainment hub, together with its mix of Eastern and Western culture, makes it a natural fit for W Hotels.
“In line with Marriott International’s ‘Brand + Destination’ development strategy, we are excited to be partnering with Melco Resorts & Entertainment to introduce W Macau – Studio City and bring the brand’s luxury lifestyle to Macau.”
Melco unveiled its design concept for Studio City Phase 2 in November, part of a topping off ceremony for the US$1.3 billion expansion project.
