(PRESS RELEASE) Bethesda, MD, 2024-Dec-18 — /Travel PR News/ — W Hotels, a member of Marriott Bonvoy’s extensive portfolio, has unveiled its new global series, Hotel Tales. Presented in an editorial-documentary style, the series delves into the unforgettable experiences and untold stories unique to W Hotels. Written by comedian and Hacks writer Pat Regan, the series invites viewers to step inside the extraordinary lives of W Hotels guests, offering an authentic glimpse into moments that can only happen within the brand’s vibrant atmosphere, and extending a future invitation to experience them firsthand.
At the heart of Hotel Tales is a diverse cast of personalities, including iconic figures such as award-winning actor Chloë Sevigny, multidisciplinary artist Miranda Makaroff, and comedian Ziwe. Each guest shares their personal experiences, revealing unexpected encounters and memorable connections with unique individuals they met during their stays—experiences that could only unfold in the distinctive environment of W Hotels.
Chloë Sevigny, staying at the reimagined W New York – Union Square, reflects on how the hotel transported her back to the ‘90s, a time when W Hotels first emerged on the scene. There, she forms an unlikely connection with a Whatever/Whenever agent who curates a special collection of ‘90s memorabilia to help her get into character for a new role. Meanwhile, Miranda Makaroff, staying at W Hollywood, recounts a serendipitous late-night culinary adventure involving a misdirected room service order that led her to an unexpected romance. Produced in collaboration with Vogue, Ziwe’s segment at W Nashville follows her southern escapades, embracing her “cowgirl era” while immersing herself in the city’s lively music scene.
George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader at W Hotels, explained: “At W Hotels, our spaces are dynamic canvases where self-expression takes center stage. Our role is to capture these bold, unfiltered moments and amplify them, reflecting the energy and individuality of both our guests and talent. This campaign celebrates the diverse and authentic experiences that define W Hotels, turning them into something truly unforgettable.”
Founded in 1998 in New York City, W Hotels has long been at the forefront of cultural change and innovation. Hotel Tales represents a new chapter for the brand, continuing its legacy as a leader in the boutique hotel movement and a pioneer in shaping luxury travel experiences.
Pat Regan, the creator behind the series, shared his excitement: “It’s been a true honor to craft this series, which celebrates the bold, the unique, and the fun of W Hotels. This brand has always been about embracing individuality, whether as your true self or a playful alter ego, and creating stories worth telling. It’s been an incredible experience to bring that energy to life.”
The Hotel Tales series signals an exciting evolution for W Hotels, reimagining the guest experience through captivating stories that challenge the status quo. The brand continues to evolve with refined design, passion-driven programming, and exceptional service. Every stay invites guests to embrace a journey of self-discovery, offering an unparalleled experience of luxury and liberation.
Chloë Sevigny, reminiscing on her return to W New York – Union Square, commented: “It’s been nostalgic and exciting to return to the reimagined hotel, a fresh take on a place I have such fond memories of. I’m thrilled to be part of this new era of W Hotels, where we can all write our own stories.”
