Easily the city's best hotel, this property does nothing to diminish the solid reputation of the Westin chain, and even with a luxurious interior and downtown location, the rates are lower than those of its siblings in Boston and New York. Skyways connect the hotel with the new Providence Place mall and the convention center. Bedrooms are equipped with the patented "Heavenly Bed" sheets, pillows, and mattresses. The architectural grandeur of the lobby rotunda and other public spaces doesn't seem to dampen the sunny dispositions of the staff. Off the lobby is a lounge with the buffed glow of an exclusive men's club. Agora, the main dining room, gets excellent reviews from critics, and serves all meals.
