Only 'Ultimate Cool Hunters' Will Do For W Barcelona

Not that we want to start counting chickens or anything, but it looks like W Barcelona is still on track to open October 1. Not only are reservations are open – rooms cost from EUR212 ($299) for the opening night – but they’ve just started recruiting.

Being W, this is no dry process. At their beachfront “Talent Casting Centre”, to the sweet sounds of an inhouse DJ, prospective “Talent members” will be escorted into “whisper booths” and asked such pressing questions as “Why are you the city’s ultimate cool hunter?”

We’re thinking that finding 400 cool people in Barcelona won’t be a problem, though, so fingers crossed the opening date will hold. We’re starting the countdown now…

A promising sign that The W Boston will open on time this September? The hotel is currently holding its W Boston Talent Show (also known as a job fair) at 660 Washington Street. All positions are open at the hotel from Whatever/Whenever staff to administrative positions to bar and kitchen staff. Here's how it will all go down:

Upon entering the Talent Center (pictured), applicants will be transported behind an invisible velvet rope into the world of W. After checking in at the Welcome Desk, potential talent will be escorted to a Starfinder Station to complete an application online and the W Whisper Booth for a more personal meet and greet.

The W will open on September 30 (so they say) in the city's revitalized Theatre District with 235 guest rooms and 123 W residences. For now, the talent show will continue through Saturday from 9am to 5pm. Positions were most interested in hearing more about? The Munchie Box position and the Style position. If you hit the talent show up, let us know how it went.

Smile! You're Auditioning for the W South Beach Talent Show

December 10, 2008 at 4:27 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

Our newest favorite obsession here at HotelChatter is randomly W Hotels Talent Shows also known as an employment fair for a soon-to-open W Hotel. The W Hoboken just finished their talent show as did the W Fort Lauderdale. These properties aren't open just yet but they will be (fingers crossed) in early 2009.

And now we have the detes on the talent show for the W South Beach (opening May 2009) The show will kick off on December 15th at 1pm at 420 Lincoln Road, Suite 2C in Miami Beach. It will go until 5pm. But this is no ordinary job fair.

While on line, applicants will be greeted by W South Beach models handing out Bliss spa tidy towels, Soyjoy snacks and Sambazon juices all keeping with the purple color scheme.

In typical W fashion, whimsical games will be available to help pass the time spent on line. After checking in at the Welcome Desk, candidates will be escorted to a Starfinder Station to complete an application online or to a Whisper Booth for a more personal meet and greet.

And that's not all. A Guitar Hero competition will also take place where the winner can win the Guitar Hero game for the Wii console. Um. We just want to go for the snacks and face-melting guitar solos. Is that wrong?

Have you tried out for a W Talent Show? Were the W versions of Paula, Randy and Simon nice to you? Let us know.

Know Your Exits: W Hoboken Now Hiring

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 335 River St [map], Hoboken, NJ, United States, 07030
December 4, 2008 at 9:35 AM | by juliana | 7 Comments

[UPDATE:] Here are some more detes about the hiring fair which IS indeed being called a W Talent Show.

Monday, December 3, 2008 – January 2009
Monday – Friday: 9am – 6pm
Saturday 12/6: 10am – 3pm
*Subsequent Saturdays will be based on initial turnout and demand.

The W Hoboken is expected to open on February 26 and further proof that the opening day is nigh is the recruitment center (no mention of a talent show here) that is open for the next six weeks: NJ.com reports:

The W is running a recruitment center at 1203 Hudson Street (behind the uptown Starbucks) from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays for the next six weeks. You must go there to apply. They will be fulfilling all positions to run the hotel.

In a time where layoffs are escalating across all industries, there's something comforting about the W Hotel hiring people. Anyone interested in applying for W Hoboken, we only ask that you know what Taylor Ham is.
