W Hotels, part of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, has opened W Sardinia – Poltu Quatu, adding a new location to its portfolio in Italy.

The property is located between Porto Cervo and Baia Sardinia, on Sardinia’s north-east coast, and overlooks the Marina dell’Orso within the village of Poltu Quatu.

The opening follows a preview event that took place last year and adds to the brand’s presence in the country, which includes W Rome and W Florence.

W Sardinia – Poltu Quatu offers 157 rooms and suites and was designed by Meyer Davis, with architecture by DE.TALES.

Public spaces at the property include a marina-front seafood restaurant, a pool terrace, spa, and a fitness centre.

W Hotels senior vice-president and global brand leader George Fleck said: “The opening of W Sardinia – Poltu Quatu marks an important milestone for W Hotels as we debut on the island of Sardinia and continue to deepen our presence across Italy.

“Italy’s cultural influence is unmatched – from design and cuisine to music and fashion – and Sardinia brings a distinct rhythm all its own.

“This opening reflects our intention to grow thoughtfully in destinations where culture leads, and where W Hotels can offer a bold, modern point of view while staying deeply connected to place.”

In March, Marriott added a property in Santa Barbara, US, to its Series by Marriott collection after Hawkins Way Capital and FOUND Hotels completed the rebranding of the former Best Western Plus Pepper Tree Inn.

“Marriott’s W Hotels opens W Sardinia – Poltu Quatu in Italy” was originally created and published by Hotel Management Network, a GlobalData owned brand.
