Housed in a 50-storey building, W is the epitome of contemporary glamour. Make a splash at the Wet Deck on the 15th floor, where you can lounge on a daybed cocktail in hand and gaze out to the skyscraper horizon. Dance and drink to the sounds of live music and DJs at La Cajita, hang out in the Tetris-like Living Room which looks like a funky modern art installation and eat Spanish-inspired cuisine with epic views through the full-height windows at Moro. 203 guestrooms feature white-lacquered furniture, high-contrast design elements, graffiti artwork and bright colours for a playful, VIP-worthy effect. Book the Extreme Wow suite for your own DJ booth and party lounge with a built-in foosball table.

Nestled among the city skyscrapers just a couple of blocks from the sea, the Waldorf Astoria accommodates 153 sleek bedrooms in a modern tower building. Its pool is perched high, for great views while you swim, soak in the whirlpool and sun on the loungers. Dine in the Brio Brasserie for French and American cuisine, or in the Ginger Sushi Bar and Lounge. Hand crafted cocktails are served in the vintage-inspired Peacock Alley. Bedrooms are equipped with iPod docks, Nespresso machines, Salvatore Ferragamo bathroom amenities and the brand’s signature bedding with Super Topper mattress pads and down-filled comforters.
