Westin Coming to New Zealand in 2009

Westin will have five properties in the Asia Pacific region after the 177-room Westin Queenstown opens in that visitor magnet in 2009. The new hotel, on Lake Wakatipu at Kawarau Falls Station, will feature a gourmet restaurant, a casual bistro, a lounge, a spa and a gym. Rooms will be fitted with the brand's Heavenly Bed and Heavenly Bath; WestinWorkout Rooms also will be available. Westin hotels currently are located in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney and Denarau Island, Fiji.
