The W Living Room is an ideal setting for meeting and mingling. The cosy venue has an intimate and yet inviting ambience and for many it feels like home. Lounging on a comfortable couch while “people watching” is a favorite activity whilst recharging and relaxing.
Creole cuisine at its finest is on the Sobou Restaurant menu with small plates inspired by Louisiana street food. Shrimp and tasso pinchos with an accompanying pepper jelly demonstrate the Puerto Rican influence from Executive Chef Juan Carlos Gonzales, whilst traditional po’boy submarine sandwiches are reinterpreted as duck debris and buttermilk beignets. Casual sophistication is the dress code, which also sums up the creative cuisine. With private dining spaces and the captivating courtyard, this is an exceptional gastronomic experience.
Part of the W New Orleans experience involves sampling the innovative cocktail programme led by Bar Chef Lu Brow. Drinks such as the handcrafted Jean Lafitte, created in honour of the famous New Orleans pirate, will tantalise the taste buds.

Self-serve wine and beer machines offer alternative refreshments.
