Settle in for a first-class treat and respite between runway shows backstage Bryant Park at the W Hotel’s VIP Arrival Lounge. Haute Living got a sneak peek of it on day one of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

In celebration of its soon-to-open W Hotels in London, Paris, and St. Petersburg, as well as W Retreats in Koh Samui, Vieques Island, and Bali, the jet-set theme is cast in a portal of metallic and silver tones. Lounge on the sleek banquette seating, inspired by conveyor belts. Enjoy overflowing flutes of Veuve Cliquot, Popburgers, and Crumbs cupcakes with designers, celebrities, models, and the fashion elite.

W will be showcasing a number of celebrity DJs in the 40-person hot spot throughout the week, from Semi Precious Weapons, who recently opened for Lady Gaga, to Hannah Holman, the new face of Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Stay tuned for more behind the scenes footage…
