THE Westin Cape Town will
be making some changes
in the coming weeks.
This was announced recently
at the launch of its Well-Being
Movement.
The initiative aims to help
guests “eat well, sleep well,
move well, play well and feel
well”. Hotel gm, Rob Kucera,
says it aims to have guests
feeling better when they leave
than when they arrived.
“We began making the
difference with the unique
‘Gear Lending’ programme,”
Rob says, which enables
guests to borrow the sports
equipment (such as running
shoes) they need for in-hotel
gym sessions, from the hotel.
“This was supported by the
Westin’s SuperFoodsRX menu
and Home Collection: Heavenly
Beds and Heavenly Showers.”
The Westin will usher in the
Westin Well-Being Movement –
the latest campaign, which is
being offered not only to hotel
guests but also to employees.
All the related programmes
and partnerships will be based
on what the Westin is calling
its ‘six pillars’ – feel well,
work well, move well, eat well,
sleep well and play well, which
will reinforce the Westin’s
commitment to the well-being
of guests, says Rob.
The global campaign will see
the launch of an online portal
to allow for the exchange of
new ideas and interpretations
of well-being that could be
brought to life, Rob adds.
Upgrades at the Westin
Cape Town will include a
refurbishment of the Executive
Club restaurant, which
reopened on May 19 with a
new menu developed by a top
chef. The hotel will also build
an outdoor pool and convert
the aircrew lounge into a mockup
of what the refurbished
bedrooms will look like.
The Arabella Spa will be
upgraded and rebranded to a
Heavenly Spa by Westin. Rob
adds that on the mezzanine
level, the conference section
will be refurbished and the
cigar lounge will get a facelift.
Changes will take place over
the next couple of months,
when business traditionally
slows down.
