Frommer's Review
You wouldn't expect a 73-story, 1,000-room hotel to be described as cozy, but that adjective fits the Westin, which completed a $30-million renovation several years ago. The 300-square-foot rooms are both elegant and intimate, and floor-to-ceiling windows provide dramatic views of the city. The Westin's "Heavenly Beds" -- boasting a custom-designed pillow-top mattress set, a down blanket, three luxury-brand sheets, a comforter, a duvet, and five of the softest pillows ever -- guarantee you a good night's sleep. The revolving Sun Dial Restaurant, on the 71st floor, offers sophisticated American fare and an impressive 360-degree view of the city skyline. The revolving Sun Dial bar, on the 73rd floor, is a good spot for cocktails and light fare. The Cafe restaurant, located in the atrium lobby, serves buffet and a la carte breakfasts. The Starbucks Coffee Bar is open daily for coffee, sandwiches, and pastries. There's also the Lobby Bar and the adjoining Sidewalk Cafe. Twenty-eight rooms are accessible to travelers with disabilities.
Facilities: 2 restaurants; cafe; 2 bars; Starbucks; beautiful large pool (under a retractable skylight for year-round indoor/outdoor use); newly equipped health club; concierge; comprehensive business center; shopping gallery; 24-hr. room service; laundry valet.
