Starwood Opens W Paris - Opera

Starwood has opened the W Paris - Opera.

Owned by Barcelona-based Meridia Capital, the hotel is set inside a historic 1870s Haussman-era heritage building near Opera Garnier, Galeries Lafayette and Place Vendome in the eclectic, historic 9th Arrondissement in Paris.

The opening of W Paris - Opera marks a significant milestone in the W brand’s global expansion as it gears to enter Singapore, Thailand and China later this year.

W Paris - Opera features 91 guest rooms, including 20 suites and two Extreme Wow Suites (W’s interpretation of the Presidential Suite).

The hotel’s signature restaurant, Arola, marks the debut of Michelin-starred chef, Sergi Arola in France. The hotel offers spectacular views of the Opera Garnier from its ground level and mezzanine floors, including W Lounge, W’s take on the traditional lobby, a social space where visitors can sip, drink and flirt over tapas and cocktails by the hotel’s mixologist.

W Paris - Opera features a Sweat®fitness centre, as well as meeting and event spaces.

Designed jointly by W Global Brand Design and the award-winning Rockwell Group Europe, W Paris - Opera was conceptualised to create a dynamic dialogue between the building’s historic façade, Paris as the “City of Light” and W Hotels’ DNA by infusing New York’s dynamism and never-ending energy into the quintessentially sophisticated Parisian neighbourhood.

GCA Architects, a renowned architecture and interior design firm, also advised Meridia Capital in this project.

Rooms start from EUR340 ($474) per room per night plus VAT.
