The Westin Anaheim Resort

ANAHEIM—The Westin Anaheim Resort, a newly built property, debuts steps away from Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. With the hotel’s heritage and design rooted in Anaheim’s citrus history, The Westin Anaheim Resort occupies eight acres and offers spacious guestrooms and suites; the brand’s signature WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio; flexible meeting and event spaces; a heated outdoor pool with five private cabanas; and seven restaurants and bars including Anaheim’s largest rooftop bar.

“We are honored to open our doors today and welcome the local community and guests alike to experience this outstanding property in an unrivaled location,” said Carmine Iommazzo, general manager. “Our resort offers a high-end destination for those looking to be in the center of it all, while also providing a sense of relaxation and escape for every type of traveler thanks to Westin’s signature approach to eating well, sleeping well, and moving well.”

Design and Accommodations

Concepted by design and architectural firms Cobico, Michael Hong Architects, HED, and landscaping by Lifescapes International, Inc., The Westin Anaheim Resort is inviting, with architecture, awnings, and pavilions throughout the property. The design teams found inspiration for the hotel’s modern interiors from Anaheim’s orange grove roots—layering in greenery and orange trees, warm and neutral tones, pops of gold accents, and artwork. The outdoor spaces showcase hand-selected king palms, valencia orange, southern magnolia, African tulip, and gold medallion trees.

The Westin Anaheim Resort features 618 guestrooms including 121 suites with signature wellbeing amenities, including the Westin Heavenly beds and bath features, most of which offer direct views of Disneyland California Adventure Park. Standout accommodations include the Park View Suites, with 785 square feet of space equipped with separate living and dining areas and a balcony, as well as the presidential suite, a 2,000 square-foot suite with two bedrooms, a walk-in closet, two and a half bathrooms, a full kitchen, a living and dining room, and a balcony stretching the length of the suite overlooking Disneyland Resort.
