The Westin has it all, from location and service to luxury rooms and sophisticated style. The city's entertainment centre is a short five blocks from the hotel; however, a bus station is easily accessed at the roundabout on eighth avenue. Though plenty of sightseeing, restaurants, and bars are within a five-minute walk, guests are removed enough from the nightlife scene to enjoy a restful night of sleep.

Less than half a mile to the north, Hotel Indigo is located within Printer's Alley, a historic district, and only three blocks from Broadway. Though the former artists that once frequented and played the alley clubs like Jimi Hendrix and The Supremes won't be found there today, the bars and restaurants that have replaced them are reminiscent of the former clubs and Prohibition speakeasies that once stood there. Hotel Indigo takes its location to heart and has incorporated Printer's Alley into its interior design. Maintaining much of the original building, guests will find mail drops from the former U.S. mail post along the hallways among other themed nods.
