Starwood
Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. plans to open its first Westin
hotel in Sacramento, California.
The
Westin Sacramento is scheduled to open in April 2013 alongside the
Sacramento River. Owned by Urban Commons/Brighton Management, the
100-room property formerly known as Le Rivage Hotel will undergo a
$3.2 million renovation prior to re-opening under the Westin flag.
"We
look forward to opening our first Westin hotel in the
beautiful and dynamic city of Sacramento, as we continue to grow the
brand in key destinations across the globe," said Brian
Povinelli, Global Brand Leader for Westin
Hotels & Resorts. "Upon completion of
renovations, The Westin Sacramento will showcase all of the brand's
signature services and amenities, designed to send guests home
feeling better than when they arrived."
The
Westin Sacramento will feature 100 guestrooms and suites, many with
balconies overlooking the river, 7,000 square feet of meeting and
function space, a full-service restaurant, outdoor pool, spa, and
fully renovated WestinWORKOUT® fitness studio, where guests will
have plenty of choices for cardio, strength and stretching.
The
sensory-rich environment at Westin offers a respite from the rigors
of travel and sets a welcoming tone. The Westin brand's innovative
programs and instinctive service transform every aspect of a guest's
stay into a revitalizing experience. All guestrooms and suites at The
Westin Sacramento will offer the world-renowned Westin Heavenly® Bed
- an oasis of lush sheets, down and a patented pillow-top mattress,
which cradles and contours to the body for truly restorative sleep.
Guests will revive in the Heavenly® Bath enhanced with the brand's
Heavenly® Shower, Heavenly® Robe and White
Tea Aloe bath amenities, and
in-room high-speed
Internet access. The hotel will also feature
the Westin brand's signature SuperFoodsRX® menu, which includes
nutrient-rich and delicious options to tempt every palate.
"Westin
is attracting a growing number of conversion opportunities,
especially in more mature, metropolitan markets," said Allison
Reid, Senior Vice President of North America Development, Starwood
Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. "The phenomenal success of
the Westin brand's distinct positioning has generated fierce loyalty
among global travelers and inspired a growing number of owners and
developers to reposition existing assets under the Westin flag."
Located
at 4350 Riverside Boulevard, The Westin Sacramento will be convenient
to numerous shops, restaurants, art galleries and museums,
the Sacramento
Convention Center Complex and the campus
of California
State University. Guests can delve into
Sacramento's Gold Rush days in nearby Old Sacramento, visit the
Sacramento Zoo or catch a show at one of several nearby theaters.
Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is just 20 minutes from the
hotel.
Westin
