Ask anyone who travels regularly and they’ll tell you the same thing about The Westin: they always leave feeling better than when they arrived. Knowing what to expect and a consistent experience no matter which country you’re in – that’s exactly what business travellers seek and what a hotel brand should deliver.
In November last year, the Westin returned to Singapore with the first-ever integrated hotel in Marina Bay’s Asia Square. This means it’s located within an office building, creating a unique and revitalising oasis in an otherwise urban centre. It’s the ideal spot for CBD rat racers to recharge. Eat at Seasonal Tastes (the Westin Singapore’s signature restaurant). The $35++ weekday lunch buffet had the place packed to the rafters. Tip: try the avocado ice cream! Or, meet up with friends and colleagues at Cook & Brew to drink $8 beers or select your tipple from the Enomatic wine dispensary.

One thing we love about the Westin is their commitment to balance and well being, so it’s not surprising that we’re huge fans of their signature amenities like the Westin Heavenly Beds, comfy gym attire you can purchase for USD5, and 1pm weekend checkout.
But we didn’t think the story was quite complete until Heavenly Spa opened its doors – which happened this month.
This little slice of heaven on the 35th floor features 6 uber-spacious treatment rooms (5 single and 1 couples’ suite) with gorgeous views of Marina Bay and our charming Chinatown. The facilities are typically fantastic; you’ll indulge in the whirlpool experiential shower (try it in both tropical and glacier modes), and the aromatherapy steam bath.
Besides the innovative treatments on the menu that fuse elements from Western and Eastern cultures quite seamlessly, Heavenly Spa is the first and exclusive place in Singapore to use Thémaé products. This Parisian brand’s love affair with tea spawned the now renowned 4 Teas Elixir (formulated with black, red, green and white tea with spring water), which soothes, rejuvenates, and combats aging.
Even if two out of three are true, that ain’t bad!
