ABOUT WATG

WATG is the world’s preeminent destination and hospitality design firm. We are employee-owned, 77 years young and home to nearly 400 creative, globe-trotting professionals located remotely and in our offices in California, New York, Honolulu, London, Singapore, and Shanghai.

Our approach to design applies a hospitality ethos to developments of all shapes and sizes. From initial feasibility studies to the finishing touches, we operate as an integrated, multidisciplinary practice globally. Along with our interior design studio, Wimberly Interiors, we specialize in hospitality, gaming + entertainment, urban + mixed-use, and high-end residential design.

Independent to this day, we passionately believe that culture and heritage are the roots that lead to long-term resilience for all businesses. 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 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.
