Chile Gets W'd

Maybe W should change the whole whatever, whenever thing to include wherever. Seriously, W's are beginning to pop up all over the globe. Is that a good thing? Well, either way, in 2008,W Hotels will open their first South American property in Chile.

Aside from the over-hyped Whatever/Whenever service (they always neglect to tell you that they will charge you for this service), the W Hotel Santiago will also have an open terrace restaurant, nightclub, and signature Bliss spa.

Sounds like the 205-room hotel will give some guests reasons to hide in their room during their visit to the Chilean capital. But considering the ideal location on Avenida Isidoro Goyenechea, Santiago's inspiring backdrop, and the nearby ski slopes and beaches, guests should be motivated to actually leave the heavenly confines the W will provide, at least for an hour or two.

This continues W's worldwide expansion that will eventually include: Barcelona, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and of course, our favorite hotel whore, Dubai.
