The new Westin Tampa Bay offers luxurious accommodations, world class amenities, magnificent views, and an experience sure to inspire renewal. Each of the 255 guest rooms and suites are custom designed, with light cherry finish furniture, spacious work surfaces, sleek lighting fixtures and carefully chosen artwork. The rooms also feature 37-inch flat screen televisions, dual line speaker phones with data ports for high speed Internet access, fully-stocked refreshment centers, in-room movies and large safes.

Relax and revive in the heated indoor pool and whirlpool, soak up some rays on the white sand beach, or indulge yourself with an in-room spa treatment. Re-energize with a vigorous workout in the Westin Workout facility, or enjoy a renewing jog each morning along the shore of Tampa Bay. And at the end of a long day, retreat to your thoughtfully designed guest room or suite, appointed with all the comforts of home.

Tempt your taste buds in the waterfront restaurant, Aquaknox, which boasts the finest fresh global seafood, flown in daily. Blu Vu is opening at end of summer, 2009 and will offer you the opportunity to enjoy a favorite libation in the rooftop lounge while taking in the breathtaking panoramic views of Florida`s intoxicating sunsets. Or, sip a freshly brewed coffee or Italian-style espresso as you relax at the waterfront Starbucks coffee shop.

Located on the shores of Tampa Bay, the hotel is a short complimentary shuttle ride to Tampa International Airport and two of Tampa`s largest shopping malls. Westin Tampa Bay is also within minutes of the headquarters of many national and international corporations in the Westshore Business district and the surrounding area. Also within easy reach are the area`s most sought after dinner reservation destinations, including The Palm, Capitol Grille, and Charlie`s Steakhouse.
