There’s no big mystery behind this business-traveler mainstay, just a contemporary hotel with a great downtown location. Sometimes that’s all you need, especially when the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Westin’s legendary beds live up to their reputation for plush softness, and floor-to-ceiling windows let tons of light stream in while providing a chance to watch the bustling downtown traffic. Although the earthtoned décor isn’t the most groundbreaking, it’s quite the opposite at Ducca, where you can eat Venetian cuisine and kick back with a Peroni on the well-designed patio.Gardens. Feather bedding, plush white linens and duvets top the beds. A large writing desk,three phones, arm chair, safe, flat screen TV, mini bar, coffee maker, and robes, are also provided. Other hotel amenities include a fitness center, a sauna, a business center, an early-morning guided city jog, a complimentary town car shuttle, and Starwood's "Love That Dog" program to welcome pets. Not to mention an R&B band plays in the hotel lounge every Friday night.
