Frommer's Review

The best reason to stay at this Westin is to get an amazing night's rest in town. This hotel, attached to Liberty One, one of the city's tallest buildings, opened with great fanfare as a gorgeous, Parisian-proper Ritz-Carlton in 1990. While it's a bit higher priced than other Westins, it's a value compared to its luxury peers.

A small porte-cochere and a ground-floor entrance on 17th Street lead to elevators that lift you up to the main lobby, which is a series of living-room-like sitting rooms that serve wine and cheese nightly, plus a clubby bar and grill. The guest rooms are outfitted with bedside walnut tables, desks, and armoires, but the beds, with their spindle-top headboards, triple sheeting, and luxurious five pillows are the main attraction (baby guests will enjoy the bumper-protected, super-safe crib, too). The modern bathrooms include an oversize, dual-head shower, magnifying mirrors, and Brazilian cotton towels. The hotel also caters to the health conscious, with a state-of-the-art fitness center and a concierge who offers maps and advice on nearby jogging routes.

Facilities: Restaurant; lounge; small exercise facility; sauna; 24-hr. concierge; $8 transport to and from airport; fully equipped business center and meeting rooms; internal connection to the 70 Shops at Liberty Place; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning
