WESTIN GRAND BOHEMIAN

The Westin Grand Bohemian is 15 minutes from the Orlando International Airport and close to Church Street Station and world renown theme parks. The American Automobile Association's four diamond hotel was named one of the world's greatest hotels by Condé Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure in 2003. The hotel is close to galleries, boutiques, cafés, pulsating nightspots, championship golf and even 'gator tours. Guests can enjoy a 45 by 22 foot lap pool, four person spa and a fabric draped gazebo with glass and wrought iron chandeliers. Upscale dining at The Boheme includes steak, seafood, roasted duck Cobb salad, Chilean sea bass crusted with parsley and pecorino. The Bosendorfer Lounge's ambience provides guests with a good place to kick back. Live entertainment keeps them enthralled at the Klimt Rotunda, where the hotel's rare $250,000 Bösendorfer piano attracts many stares. Like a scene from the streets of Vienna, black marble tables, black velour banquettes and chairs, black and white tile floor, and a gold leaf ceiling containing crimson lights turn the Klimt Rotunda into an Orlando attraction unto itself. Guestrooms are just as stylish. Black Javanese wood furnishings, golden quilted headboards and brushed aluminum lamps complement red and royal purple color schemes. Guests can fall sound asleep on Westin's 10 layer Heavenly Beds of all white bedding with pillowtop mattresses, triple sheeting, down comforters and duvets, and piles of goose down pillows. Children can even call a special telephone number and hear bedtime stories. Rooms include coffeemakers, minibars, modem lines, cable TVs, movies and video games. More than 100 works by Gustav Klimt, Dale Chihuly and Laura DiNello, as well as classical and contemporary music playing throughout the facility, create a worldly ambience at the Grand Bohemian, whose unexpectedly big city, middle European look and sensibility is quite unique for a hotel in semi tropical, muggy Central Florida.
