A Bold New Chapter for W Macau

W Macau, a vibrant addition to the city’s dynamic landscape, is known for its bold design and innovative approach to hospitality. As part of Marriott International’s iconic W Hotel brand, this luxurious hotel made a powerful entrance into the market. Our event management team in Shanghai collaborated closely with W Macau to orchestrate the W Macau Countdown Events, a series of unforgettable moments leading up to the grand opening.

The Countdown Events: Energising and Purposeful

The W Macau Countdown Events served multiple purposes. They acted as internal orientation and training sessions while celebrating the hotel’s imminent opening and showcasing its exceptional facilities. Hosted in the Studio City Grand Ballroom, these high-energy events created the perfect setting for learning, celebration, and connection.

Key speakers added depth to the experience. These included Benoit Racle, Vice President of Global Brand Management for W Hotels; Dominique Colin, Senior Manager of Brand Management for W+ Collection Brands at Marriott International; Linbo Lin, Director of Luxury Openings for Greater China; and Adrian Chan, General Manager of W Macau. Their speeches energised the audience and set the tone for the hotel’s exciting journey ahead.

Highlights That Inspired the Team

The events featured several standout moments. The Wardrobe Reveal offered a first look at the stylish staff uniforms. A Pep Rally boosted team morale, while the Brand Immersion experience helped team members fully connect with W Macau’s distinct ethos and identity.

Seamless Support from Riviera Events

Our Shanghai-based planning team delivered full-service support, including graphic design, production solutions, on-site execution, and internal communications.
