The W London is located right at the heart of London’s West End. Next to Leicester Square, Chinatown and the theatre district, and right on top of a cool M&M’s store, this property offers an unbeatable location for those looking to explore the city. This property opened in 2011 and was fully renovated last year.
Here’s official property photos and their description of their Cool Corner Suite:
Wraparound floor-to-ceiling views over nearby Soho and Chinatown
Full of light and with amazing views over Wardour Street and Chinatown, each of the Cool Corner Suites come with separate bathroom and a host of luxurious features that make this city pad a scene stealer.
Designed with the W edge, each room comes with sleek furniture, including comfortable work area with a desk and chair which is perfect for catching up on all things business. The signature W king-size bed is dressed in super soft duvet and fluffy pillows taking relaxation to another level.
Glam up or wind down in the stunning bathroom, complete with cheeky peek-a-boo shower, lush bathrobes and Bliss® Spa amenities. Creature comforts come in the form of W MixBar, flat screen TV, Whatever/Whenever® service and curated mood-changing moments through the swipe of a screen. It’s where you get full control of your experience, from lighting to movie choices.
Stunning location in Soho, London
Our hotel is wonderfully situated in the heart of London’s vibrant Soho area with amazing sites nearby, such as theatre land, Regent Street and Leicester Square, so you’ll never get bored! However, if the London weather changes we have plenty to do within the hotel such as an electric cocktails and music happenings at the Perception Bar or complimentary access to the FIT gym for the duration of your stay; accessible 24/7.

Here is our video review and commentary on this room:
Conclusion
Calling this room a suite is some creative language! It is a nice room, but neither its size nor the distribution makes it a suite. Cool they still have Bliss products though!
Is “Freddo Zabaleta” the same person as John Ollila?
Curious about who is staying in all these suites over the years.
I thought it was John Ollila. The person describing the room has a strange accent (mix of German and Spanish?)
Anyone knows?
Oh I see. Thanks.
Would be really great if you could add a section where you are reviewing Hotel lounges and airport lounges (many of them are pretty cool)
Marvellous suites are their real suite come with a huge bathtub (in ridiculous layout though)
Cool corner (they used to call it room) and studio suites are “created” primarily for fulfilling the suite upgrade requirement for high tier elite members. Same as the dirty trick been uses by intercon hotels for many years.
On the square…is it noisy?
It was not bad when I stayed there.
