LAS VEGAS — The owner of the SLS Las Vegas has partnered with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide to open the first W Hotel in Las Vegas. The hotel will occupy an existing 289-room tower that is currently operated under the SLS LUX brand.
The new W Hotel is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2016. The SLS Las Vegas will also become part of Starwood’s Tribute Portfolio, as part of the agreement.
The hotel will include a dedicated entry and reception area for W Hotel guests, an Away Spa, and an outdoor pool and bar known as WET. It will also feature the signature W Living Room, which is the brand’s unique take on the traditional hotel lobby.
Starwood will manage W Las Vegas, while Kreeger will continue to manage the remainder of the SLS property. The SLS Las Vegas is owned by Las Vegas Resort Holdings LLC.
SLS Las Vegas will join Starwood’s four existing hotels in the market, including the Westin Las Vegas Hotel, Casino & Spa, the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa, Four Points by Sheraton Las Vegas East Flamingo and Element Las Vegas Summerlin.
