The W London Hotel is promoting a more minimal way of traveling through its Walk Out Wardrobe service. Encouraging guests to arrive with little to no luggage, the British hotel has launched a new designer wardrobe service.
In partnership with digital dress rental service Girl Meets Dress, the Walk Out Wardrobe service offers guests a wide range of luxury ensembles fit for any occasion. Girl Meets Dress will provide various outfits taken from the Girl Meets Dress archive of 4,000 designer items featuring apparel from Alexander McQueen and Victoria Beckham.
To use this service, guests must contact Jess Patman via the hotel's 24-hour Whatever/Whenever concierge service. The wardrobe will then be brought to the guest's room along with an iPad so guests can explore the entire Girl Meets Dress archive.
