Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa nears completion of its $10 million renovation to reimagine the resort’s existing 416 guestrooms and expand to 419 rooms, including 32 suites.

During the renovation, the resort remained open, with no impact to any other areas of the property. All room and suite renovations are expected to complete in spring 2024.

The resort uses the noted interior design firm Ellis Adams Design to transform each of the resort’s rooms and suites into an extension of the island’s natural landscape, creating a luxurious coastal escape. The resort’s refreshed accommodations, inspired by the wispy sea oats and sweetgrass of Hilton Head Island, encourage rejuvenation and relaxation by balancing wellness and casual adventure. Taking cues from nature, the new light and airy color palette derives from the island’s sandy shores and marshlands, deep green foliage and blue skies, so each room’s design is rich, natural and warm.

“Since 1988, The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa has been delivering approachable luxury with personalized service and energizing experiences, empowering guests to feel their best and make unforgettable memories,” said Mike Tighe, general manager, Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa. “This investment in refreshing our guest rooms and suites will provide our guests with a sense of the island and allow us to maintain our positioning as a leading resort in the South. “

The resort offers eight different room types, along with seven distinct suite options for guests, all featuring spacious balconies and Westin’s Signature Heavenly Bed. Renovated suites include the Resort and Carolina King Suites, as well as the Atlantic, Vice Presidential and Presidential suites, with plans to unveil two new specialty suites, ideal for families and group trips, in the spring or summer.

KŌAST Review

In Los Angeles, word spreads quickly when a bonafide “A-list” chef opens a new restaurant, complete with a painstakingly crafted menu and ambiance that whispers (not shouts) “exclusive.” This is certainly the case with the warmly lit, 60-seat KŌAST Melrose, packed every night since its Jan. 29 opening. While the dining experience involves painstakingly prepared dishes almost too pretty to tear into, the management and staff keep things grounded to ensure it shines as a “neighborhood spot” more about the food than whomever comes in to enjoy it.

Vancouver Entices Meeting-Goers with Its Stunning Beauty and Sustainability

When I first visited Vancouver, I was headed to the city for a work event. I anticipated a hectic few days of business travel, but what I didn’t expect was the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the city. From there, I ventured out into the wilds of Canada’s Pacific Coast with a trip to Vancouver Island and Tofino. I have returned — for work and pleasure — many times since over the years. I found that first trip nothing short of perfect, which is unsurprising considering Vancouver has established itself as an alluring and unique destination for MICE tourism. Vancouver offers sustainability and versatility for business travelers and hosts more than 500 major domestic and international conventions, tradeshows and more.

2 Airlines Now Use Apple Features for Enhanced Baggage Tracking

It’s a fear (and even experience) we’ve all unfortunately had when traveling: We get to our destination or back home and wait at baggage claim, only to have the sinking realization our bag didn’t emerge and is missing. Fortunately, more and more airlines seek ways to avoid these problems or, at least in the event your bag does go missing temporarily, have ways to keep tabs on bags.
