DWP completed the refurbishment of the Lobby & Public Areas, F&B, including the first W All Speciality Dining; GARAGE and the WET Deck to bring to life this second W Hotel designed by DWP in the Middle East and the largest W Hotel in the world.
The refurbishment of W Abu Dhabi responds to the location. It is driven by a curated design approach based on research and creative interpretation, bringing to life the "W Insider" idea. As the team explored the historical, physical and social context of Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital was revealed as a place of fascinating juxtapositions and contrasts. As a vibrant, modern city rich in ancient cultural traditions, it challenges preconceived notions and stereotypes of the Middle East.
Based on these findings, a multi-layered concept was developed around the theme of "Mirage". Inspiration was drawn from the diverse elements that form Abu Dhabi today, from centuries-old Bedouin customs and the country's natural attributes to the city’s modern face and the riches it is known for. As a result, the refurbishment imbues the hotel with a strong sense of place that celebrates Abu Dhabi and delivers a genuinely memorable W experience designed to WOW.
