Westin Providence

Westin Providence

Location, Location, Location. This hotel has the absolutely best location in Providence. Connected to Providence place by a bridge it means you have easy access to the Mall and to the shops and restaurants that abound there. There is also an IMAX theater.

I have stayed at this hotel before as part of a convention and the prices were still around 200 a night. It can even be closer to 300 so when I saw it on a discount site for 105 I jumped at the chance to spend a weekend there. I gave Irene a call and sure enough it became a girls getaway weekend,

I love this hotel but you get nothing for free, oh well yes, you get coffee and tea in the room and it is free. Given the fact that everything else has a charge I called the desk just to make sure. Parking is valet and $22 and if you want high-speed Internet access it is $9.95 but local calls are free so I settled for dial up.

The rooms themselves are just beautiful. I am a big fan of their all white bedding. A very warm white duvet with feather pillows and crisp white sheets. It at least always feels and smells very clean. I love the fact that you get a bathrobe too, big fluffy and white as well. There is plenty of light if you want to read but also the lighting can be very dim and romantic.

There is a comfortable chair and a table if you want to have room service and of course a desk. The sound proofing is excellent too, even though we overlooked the highway I never heard a sound.

The bathroom has a marble top vanity and plenty of nice amenities. There is good water pressure and plenty of steaming hot water. There is a fitness center and a pool but in all honesty I have never visited either one.

There are several dining options here. The main restaurant Agora is just beautiful and we had a very superior breakfast buffet there on Sunday morning. I would go there again just for the bowls of fresh berries they had out, not to mention the made to order omelets and just about every other breakfast food you can imagine.

We had dinner in the hotel bar on Saturday evening. The food is cooked in Agora so you know it has to be good. The bar makes some mighty fine martinis too. They had never made a Bellini before but what the heck they tried it for me and it was excellent. Irene had a chocolate martini that was equally as good and after we had down two each we were barely able to giggle our way back to our room . Yes, I really do love this hotel, good location, good food and drink and connected to a Mall. Could it get any better?
