The Westin Melbourne, the most decorated Westin property in the world has been recognised by frequent flyers as one of the best leisure and business hotels in Australia.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Westin was named in Conde Nast traveller’s gold list as one of the best places to stay in the world, alongside the best luxury hotel in the Victorian Tourism Awards hall of fame amongst others.<\/p>\n

Now consumers who travel frequently\u00a0 have named the Westin Melbourne in their favourite category.\u00a0 Qantas Frequent Flyers were asked to vote for their favourite qantas.com<\/a> hotels across destinations and categories such as comfiest bed, best room, best view and more. The results are now being showcased in a spectacular minisite that has been integrated into ‘Hotels’ on qantas.com<\/a>. www.qantas.com\/hotels<\/a><\/p>\n

Anne Jamieson, Sales and Marketing Director, the Westin Melbourne said, “This is a great honour. Qantas frequent flyers are connoisseurs of the industry. As world travellers, their taste is most discerning. So to be voted as one of their favourite hotels is certainly flattering.”<\/p>\n

She said, “Our guests love the Westin because of its unrivalled location in the heart of Melbourne, the welcoming staff and the sleek chic ambiance which epitomises the hotel.”<\/p>\n
