W Hotels heading for Europe

The first W Hotel in Europe – W Istanbul – will open next month. Originally scheduled for the back end of 2007, it has been designed by Geomim and will serve as a centerpiece of the redevelopment of the landmark Akaretler Row Houses in Besiktas. In walking distance of the Museum of Painting and Sculpture, the W Instanbul is also just a short drive from the Old City, the Blue Mosque and the Istanbul Modern art museum.
great news that W are expanding their portfolio in Europe. I have used them in the states and enjoy their hotels and think they have been missing out on a great market here in Europe.
