The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa announced the completion of its $13.8 million renovation and plans to debut its new look in early February.

All rooms have been transformed into extensions of the island’s natural landscape to create a luxurious coastal escape. Ellis Adams Design, heading the project, got its inspiration from the sea oats and sweetgrass of Hilton Head Island while creating a rejuvenating and relaxing atmosphere. Details throughout the new rooms and suites reflect the surrounding landscape with light and airy touches. The color palette was created from the island’s sandy shores, marshlands, deep green foliage and clear blue skies.

Review: Kimpton Hotel Palomar

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Philadelphia was filling up with travelers, so I booked Kimpton Hotel Palomar due to its location in the heart of Center City — just off Samson Street, full of great restaurants, and a few blocks from The Union League (where I was attending an event) and City Hall. I parked around the corner; there are many options, and the hotel is also close to public transportation. I admired the lobby renovations that took place not too long ago, making this a hidden gem with a real Philadelphia feel. The doorman greeted me and held my bags, as I arrived in the morning for meetings before check- in. When I returned in the afternoon, check-in was swift with a friendly front desk team offering water and help with questions.
