W Hotels arrive in Europe - updated

Inner_logo One of the most revolutionary brands in the hotel industry, W Hotels (part of the American Starwood Hotels & Resorts group), has finally taken a step forward to develop their brand in the UK. London will see the first W hotel on Leicester Square in 2010. You can't be more central than that in the UK capital and I bet rates will be very high as well. The W Leicester Square hotel will be built on the former Swiss Centre building. Not sure if they will keep the famous Swiss bells that tourist gather to hear at 1200 every day. Starwood will also build another W hotel in Manchester by 2010 in the warehouse district on Princess Street.

Can't wait to try these out.

The first W hotel in Europe   will open its door on 1st September in 2009. See the progress of the hotel site here.

The W Barcelona doesn't open until 2009. I think you are mistaken.

Barcelona W isn't open yet.

You are both absolutely right. I have read too quickly and was getting excited to try this out so soon!

you will be welcomed to Manchester's 'whimistical' Village Quarter, Guillaume, full of fairies and hobgoblins.
