W London – Leicester Square ‘Goes Dutch’

Ahead of the hotly anticipated opening of W Amsterdam (the city's newest hotspot from global design powerhouse W Hotels Worldwide) W London- Leicester Square will 'go Dutch' with a themed takeover to celebrate the launch in style. Guests of the hotel will be transported to the heart of the Netherlands for a two week long period with immersive design, a remixed Dutch menu, Dutch inspired cocktails, film screenings and a number of Dutch bikes up for grabs.

From 9th-23rd October, the public areas of W London will be restyled into and 'Ode to Amsterdam', offering guests a sneak peek into the city that plays host to the brand new state of the art W Hotel. Taking inspiration from the iconic canals, buildings and cultural emblems such as tulips, Dutch bikes and windmills, the two week takeover will feature screenings of cult Dutch films in the luxury 39 seater screening room, including Control by Anton Corbin (showing on 13th October) The Vanishing by George Sluizer (showing on 16th October) and Black Book by Paul Verhoeven (showing on 18th October).

Our resident mixologist will be serving up a cocktail menu, featuring Dutch liqueurs and flavours, including the Dutch Courage Cocktail (available on 13th October), as well as a reimagined Dutch platter, with dishes including Gouda Kaassouffle, Short Rib Bitterballen and Patatje Oorlog.

Visitors will also be in for a chance to win a brand new and personalised Bobbin 'Dutch' style bike in a two week competition, with 10 lucky winners. In addition to this, with photo moments galore, guests will be immersed into the modern interiors that take inspiration from the city's energetic scene. A DJ booth will be set up at the hotel's nightspot Wyld, along with Dutch sounds from Deep House Amsterdam (October 9th and 10th). Partygoers who present a Dutch passport will also get their first drink gratis
