HOUSTON – The Westin Houston Downtown has always been a favorite for Houston sports fans, thanks to its unbeatable location near Minute Maid Park and the Toyota Center. But now, after a multi-million-dollar renovation, this landmark hotel is stepping into a bold new era, one that blends vibrant style with a true focus on wellness and elevated dining.
Recently ranked in the top ten out of 135 Westins in the U.S. for both Food & Beverage and Overall Guest Experience, the hotel isn’t just updating its look - it is reimagining the entire guest experience.
A Fresh Take on Dining
At the heart of this transformation is Executive Chef Rafael Ortiz, who is leading the charge on a menu that balances bold flavors with a wellness-forward approach. From lighter, nutrient-packed dishes perfect for busy professionals to indulgent options for a game-day splurge, the menu celebrates Houston’s culinary energy with a healthy twist.
And for foodies, there’s more to come: the hotel will host a Bourbon Dinner with Garrison Brothers Bourbon on Saturday, September 27—a can’t-miss event for locals and guests alike.
Rooms Designed for Rest
Houston Life also toured the newly refreshed rooms with General Manager Brian Sciberras, who shared how the hotel has embraced a new vision of urban wellness. The serene spaces feature soft tones, modern finishes, and a calming atmosphere that feels like an escape - without ever leaving the city.
Whether you’re staying after an Astros game, booking a holiday staycation downtown, or planning a weekend to simply recharge, the Westin offers a haven for rest and relaxation.
