Distinctive scent: The hotel is known for its “different” and recognizable fragrances that perfume the corridors and common areas, adding to the sensory experience.
Connection to the W Hotel
The V Hotel was previously the W Dubai, a brand known for its bold design and vibrant nightlife. After rebranding to a Curio Collection by Hilton property, the hotel retained much of its signature style and party atmosphere, keeping its high-energy, fashionable reputation.
