Without a need for an introduction, The W Retreat & Spa, Bali stands as a cultural establishment that has withstood the test of time amidst the tidal waves of Seminyak’s ever-evolving lifestyle landscape. It is a destination where people of many cultures meet in celebration of the energy the W Hotel emblem exudes on a global scale. Be it designers and architects or party revelers and island loyalists, the evolution of the brand and the iconic ‘W’ has become an international backdrop for photos around the world – The W is simply where you want to be.
The latest addition to the facilities of The W Retreat & Spa, Bali has got the region buzzing in excitement. The Sound Suite has redefined the presidential suite with a swagger that is elevated to a next level of cool. BAZAAR was treated to a tour of the coveted locale led by Christine Kenny, Director of Marketing Communications, W Retreat & Spa, Bali who shared anecdotes and quick facts on how the Sound Suite initially took flight and the services that surround the encompassing experience.
As we step into the magical enclave of the Sound Suite, a private recording studio awaits its next superstar amidst an expansive spread of equipment inclusive of Go-Pro and LiveStream cameras to instruments, mics, a DJ set up and most exciting, a live room fit with guitars. The concept in entirety is a seamless fit to the hotel’s portfolio, a seductive destination for creativity tailored to the sophisticated taste buds of anyone with a passion for creating.
As passionate as the W Hotels are about music and design, the same enthusiasm applies in their international pursuit for food and cocktails. A menu inspired by musician rock star personas as created especially for the Sound Suite plays host to a tantalising array of finely crafted culinary ensembles to fit the persona of a musician stereotype. BAZAAR’s top selections include The Diva – Lanson Brut Champagne, lobster salad with Osetra Caviar, The Studio Geek – espresso & artisanal homemade Cracker Jacks, and in true spirit of everything the suite represents from music to pop culture, one shan’t leave without a indulgence on the The Hip Hop Classic consisting of Ciroc Ultra-Premium, cranberry, Wagyu beef sliders & truffle fries.
