ABOUT WATG
WATGis the world's preeminent destination and hospitality design firm. We are employee-owned, almost 80 years young, and home to over 450 creative, globe-trotting professionals located remotely and in our offices in California, Dallas, New York, Honolulu, London, Singapore, and Shanghai.
Our approach to design applies a hospitality ethos to the development of all shapes and sizes. From initial feasibility studies to finishing touches, we operate globally as an integrated, multidisciplinary practice. Along with our interior design studio, Wimberly Interiors, we specialize in hospitality, gaming + entertainment, urban + mixed-use, and high-end residential design.
We were founded in Honolulu in 1945, and the spirit of the islands taught us to focus on community strength, self-reliance, and sustainability - which we still prioritize today. We passionately believe that culture and heritage are the roots that lead to long-term resilience. We stay true to our values of designing spaces that respect, protect, and enhance the natural magic of their surroundings while delivering long-term value for our clients and their communities.
