Westin Huntsville Receives Conde Nast Traveler Recognition

After $7 million in renovations at the Westin Huntsville, the hotel has now received the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award for 2019 and has been named to the Top 20 Hotels in The South.

While most of the property renovations occurred in 2017, the hotel recently constructed and opened its new the Valencia Ballroom in April 2019. Unlike other ballrooms and meeting spaces in Huntsville, this new ballroom features floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Lake at Bridge Street, making it ideal for weddings and social events.

"We truly value our guests and we are honored to receive such a significant award like this, which is voted on by our guests," said Andrew Dorough, General Manager for the Westin Huntsville. "We listened to our guests throughout our renovations and invested in the things they said mattered most to them. Our entire team is ecstatic that our guests are enjoying this space so much."
