The Westin Melbourne: A Home Away from Home
For over 15 years, The Westin Melbourne has been more than just a hotel for us; it has been our cherished "home away from home." As Marriott Bonvoy members, we have always preferred Westin properties, both in Australia and abroad, for their exceptional service and unparalleled comfort.
From the moment you step into The Westin Melbourne, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of elegance and warmth that feels instantly familiar. This hotel has been a sanctuary where we've celebrated countless milestones, including our recently unforgettable 25th wedding anniversary. Each visit reaffirms why The Westin remains our favourite, with its dedication to excellence evident in every detail.
Sweating the Small Stuff: A Commitment to Excellence
As professionals who truly appreciate the finer details, we can confidently say that the Westin Melbourne goes above and beyond in every aspect. From the moment you step into the lobby, greeted by the signature White Tea fragrance that instantly soothes the senses, to the personalised touches in each room, it’s evident that this hotel understands the profound impact of the small things.
Every detail, no matter how minute, is meticulously curated to enhance your stay.
Unforgettable Experiences Await
We always make sure to book a room with a Juliette balcony—it's a must for us. The rooms are incredibly spacious, and the bathrooms are nothing short of luxurious. As someone who cherishes taking my time to get ready for evenings out, the large, well-lit bathroom with two sinks is a dream come true. Women will understand the importance of perfect lighting and ample space for getting ready.
For our 25th wedding anniversary, the staff went above and beyond by surprising us with champagne and a heartfelt handwritten note. This personalised service and genuine care are what make The Westin Melbourne an exceptional choice for any stay.
A Culinary Delight: Allegro Restaurant
One of the standout experiences at The Westin Melbourne is the exceptional breakfast at Allegro Restaurant. Whether you're in town for business or leisure, breakfast here sets a positive tone for the rest of your day. As a health enthusiast, I love the variety of nutritious options available, including the fantastic juice bar. Just knowing it’s there brightens my morning, and I never miss the chance to enjoy a fresh juice. It’s the ideal way to kick-start my day, especially after a workout at the hotel's impressive gym, which I’ll delve into later.
The breakfast spread at Allegro caters to all preferences. My husband and business partner, Steve, who hails from Scotland, particularly enjoys the traditional breakfast offerings. He relishes having his “fry up,” something he rarely indulges in at home given our usual healthy diet. The diversity and quality of the food, along with the expertise of the chefs and the attentive service, make every breakfast a delightful experience.
It’s not often you find a hotel restaurant that serves great coffee, but Allegro nails it every time. The meticulous attention to detail in the dining experience reflects the hotel’s overall commitment to excellence. Whether you’re after a healthy start or a comforting traditional breakfast, Allegro Restaurant provides a culinary experience that perfectly complements the luxurious stay at The Westin Melbourne.
Fitness and Wellness: A Key Factor
For fitness enthusiasts like me, the Westin Melbourne offers an unparalleled experience. The 24-hour WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Centre boasts top-of-the-line equipment and a spacious layout, creating an inviting environment to keep up with your fitness routine while travelling. The gym’s motivating atmosphere, coupled with its state-of-the-art facilities, makes each workout something to look forward to.
Adding to the allure is the serene Wellness Centre, featuring a 20-metre lap pool, sauna, and steam room. While I might not always take a dip in the pool, knowing it’s there enhances the sense of luxury and wellness during my stay. It’s comforting to know that relaxation and rejuvenation are just steps away after an invigorating workout.
Beyond the fitness amenities, the hotel’s location allows guests to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of Melbourne. With the city’s finest shopping, dining experiences, and top attractions right at your doorstep, the Westin Melbourne seamlessly blends luxury, wellness, and convenience. Whether you’re sticking to your fitness regime or exploring the city, the Westin ensures you do so in style and comfort.
The Heart of the Hotel: Its Impeccable Staff
Just like how we take the time to get ready in the morning, ensuring we look our best before stepping out the door, the staff at The Westin Melbourne embody this same care and attention to detail in their appearance and demeanor. From the crispness of their uniforms to the confident posture and well-groomed appearance, every staff member exudes a sense of pride and professionalism.
In the world of hospitality, a warm and genuine greeting can make all the difference in a guest's experience.
