Ever go on one of those holidays where you return back home wondering why you feel a lot more tired than when you left? This has happened to most of us at least once. If you’ve no clue what we’re talking about, chances are you have been planning your vacations well – as they are supposed to be planned – as a getaway from the hustle and bustle of work and the rigours of stress. Think about it…‘vacation’, ‘holiday’, ‘getaway’, ‘break’, ‘retreat’, ‘escape’ all of these words suggest leaving the strains of your lives behind for some much needed R&R. A good place to start your much needed R&R is at The Westin.
Thanks to Westin, more holiday-makers have the opportunity to experience a truly holistic experience that encompasses the trinity of mind, body and spirit. Let’s face it, when most of us think about a holiday, we imagine feeling relaxed and taking it easy while exploring foreign lands and cultures. But during the actual vacation, most of us tend to keep late nights, over-indulge on unhealthy foods, and physically exert ourselves to squeeze as much out of our time off…essentially we end up doing anything and everything we wouldn’t do if we weren’t vacationing.
A vacation with Westin hotels enables you to experience the brand’s six pillars: Feel Well, Work Well, Move Well, Eat Well, Sleep Well and Play Well. If you’re thinking that this sounds like something similar to an “Eat, Pray, Love” experience…it’s not. This is better. From the moment you check in, Westin hotels starts pampering you, from the iconic Heavenly Bed and Westin brand’s global partnership with SuperfoodsRx (food that fuels the body with rich antioxidants and tastes great) to WestinWORKOUT and RunWESTIN. Westin Weekend let guests escape, discover and relax. You are encouraged to linger in bed longer with a late, 3pm Sunday check-out and extended breakfast hours (weekend just seem longer!). We recommend checking out the digital destination guide, Westin Finds from Afar, that provides guests with uniquely curated travel experiences; with that you have a good start to a unique vacation.
