With a prime location in bustling Times Square and attractive on-site amenities, The Westin New York at Times Square is a New York hotel that’s a hit with business travelers and families. The Westin’s elegantly renovated rooms and suites make its atmosphere an enviable combination of big city excitement and luxurious relaxation.

The Westin is surrounded by movie theaters, coffee shops, tempting eateries and, of course, all of the exciting entertainment of Times Square. Despite the bustle outside, the airy and softly lit Westin lobbies have cozy lounge areas done in rich reds and warm golds, where guests can lounge in plush chairs and relax. The hotel’s 863 rooms include Traditional and Deluxe guest rooms as well as several trademark styles: Westin’s Workout Rooms feature treadmills, hand weights and exercise balls, and workout DVDs.

The soothing Spa Inspired Guest Rooms are outfitted with Kinjoy Shiatsu massage chairs, Westin’s signature bath and body products, spa-inspired CDs and free access to the Westin Workout Gym. All boast the Westin’s trademark Heavenly Bed and 32-inch LCD high definition televisions, with modern decor in simple white and warm beige tones. The selection of suites includes Junior suites, with Bose Wave stereos and two 26-inch flat-panel LCD high definition televisions, and newly renovated Presidential suites on the 45th floor, which offer dramatic views and oversize whirlpools. One-Bedroom and Renewal Suites, with spa-like amenities and workout equipment, are also available.

The Westin is home to Shula’s Steak House, which has a hearty menu of prime cuts, Maine lobster and other seafood for dinner, and also offers breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch. Shula’s pre-theater dinner special is a popular New York City hotel package. Bar 10 is the Westin’s fashionable lounge, with floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows and velveteen couches where corporate travelers and sightseers unwind at the end of long days. Classic cocktails are offered along with light fare, such as paninis and burgers.

The Westin’s state-of-the-art fitness center, the Westin Workout Gym, features incredible views of the Hudson River from its location on the 23rd floor. The on-site Nintendo Wii video game system offers a fun workout option, and the gym’s staff also leads guided running tours through New York City neighborhoods. Access to the gym is complimentary when you book a spa service, otherwise it is available to guests for a nominal fee. The full-service on-site spa presents a plethora of relaxing options, such as deep tissue, Shiatsu and Swedish massages, and botanical and clinical facials for men or women. Products from Essence of Vali and Me Bath are used.
