Westin Hotels & Resorts Review

WESTIN WANTS YOU TO FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU LEAVE

Westin has never needed to be the loudest brand in the building. Its lane is wellness, comfort and upscale hotels that make traveling feel a little less exhausting. The Heavenly Bed became part of the brand's identity for a reason, but Westin has expanded that idea into fitness, food, sleep and spaces designed around actually feeling good during the trip.

As part of Marriott International, Westin also has serious reach. You'll find the brand in major business cities, beach destinations, resorts and international markets, which makes it useful for everything from the work trip we're extending through Sunday to the family vacation where everybody needs a hotel they can agree on.

For Black travelers, Westin is one of those brands we appreciate more as we get older. Every trip does not require the hotel to entertain us. Sometimes we need it to give us a great bed, a good shower, a nice pool, a proper bar and somewhere peaceful to come back to after we've been outside all day.

Westin isn't chasing cool. It's selling comfortable, polished and dependable. There's absolutely a place for that in our passport.

02 · The BlkTravel Take

The BlkTravel Take

Westin is the hotel equivalent of saying, “Nah, we're staying somewhere nice.”

Not flashy. Not boring. Just comfortable, upscale and usually dependable enough that nobody has to spend the first night arguing about who picked the hotel.

We especially like Westin for busy trips. Conventions, international travel, city weekends, theme-park recovery, or any vacation where we're actually going to need that Heavenly Bed when we finally get back upstairs.

Westin isn't where the function is. It's where we recover from it.
