Many elements make the hotel a work of art. There’s the 2000 Bursera Simaruba trees, , which create a live green fence for the hotel's main entrance.

Since the first W was created in 1998, this design aesthetic has been paramount in all its hotels. “We do not put up artwork for the sake of it. The art is meaningful and authentic to the destination,” says Ingham.
