Bill BakhoThe new AAA Four-Diamond The Westin Anaheim Resort is a luxurious hotel located in the heart of Anaheim, California, just steps away from the Disneyland Resort and California Adventure. Driving up into the circular courtyard of the hotel and seeing the water and fire display makes you feel like you stepped into a tropical oasis. The Westin Anaheim Resort boasts a modern and sophisticated design. As you enter, you’ll be greeted by a welcoming and beautiful lobby, complete with comfortable seating areas, high ceilings, and the stunning Bar 1030. Also, the hotel has its enchanting signature Westin Heavenly® White Tea scent lightly cascading through the air. The hotel’s contemporary design seamlessly blends comfort and style, with sleek furnishings, warm wood accents, and plenty of greenery throughout the property. The Westin Anaheim Resort has a wide range of amenities and services that cater to both business and leisure travelers.
As I entered my suite, I fell in love with the interior design of the room and the amazing views of Disneyland and the Anaheim Skyline off my balcony. The room was state-of-the-art with technology panels throughout the suite, high-speed wireless internet, and 55-inch HD LED televisions. The gorgeous bathroom had plenty of lighting which is very much appreciated, along with the waterfall shower heads and oversized inviting bathtub. Accommodations at The Westin Anaheim Resort include a variety of room types, from standard guest rooms to spacious suites. All rooms are equipped with signature Westin Heavenly® Beds, which feature plush mattresses, cozy blankets, and fluffy pillows, providing guests with the ultimate comfort and relaxation during their stay.
The Westin Anaheim Resort’s amenities include a resort-style heated outdoor pool with spacious cabanas, a whirlpool, a fully-equipped state-of-the-art fitness studio, a Westin Club Lounge with incredible views of Disneyland, and a variety of dining options.
Guests can indulge in a delicious meal at the hotel’s signature restaurant, Tangerine Room, which serves up delicious California cuisine inspired by locally grown ingredients and of course some tangerines in a casual yet elegant setting with an extensive global wine list. For a more casual dining experience, guests can also visit Bar 1030 Lobby Lounge, which offers light bites and refreshing curated cocktails. For a quick snack and gourmet coffee, you can stop at the Blossom Café & Market. Or if you want to have some fun and catch the breathtaking views of the sunset enjoying Mediterranean-inspired dishes with hand-crafted crafted cocktails while listening to a DJ spinning some Top 40 tunes and watching the spectacular view of the Disneyland nightly fireworks then RISE Rooftop Lounge is the place to be.
The hotel’s location is another major draw for guests, with easy access to a range of local attractions, making it an ideal destination for families. The hotel is also next door to the Anaheim Convention Center, which hosts a range of events and conferences throughout the year. The ease of a quick walk to the convention center makes The Westin Anaheim Resort an optimal destination for the business traveler.

Visit Anaheim is an incredible source of information regarding attractions, restaurants, and events in Anaheim and throughout Orange County. We contacted Visit Anaheim for help with our itinerary off the property and they recommended some great places to go. Of course, since Disneyland was just a 10 min walk from The Westin we had to go and take a picture with Mickey Mouse. It was so convenient to get into and back from the park without dealing with parking or having to carry all our belongings all day long. We had a blast on all the rides and anytime we needed a break we headed to the hotel for a rest. Which made the experience so much better to be so close to the park.
The Ranch restaurant, which was an 8 min drive from the Westin Anaheim Resort, was one of Visit Anaheim’s top picks and it didn’t disappoint. The Ranch is a fine-dining Steakhouse that specializes in contemporary American cuisine with a focus on locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. The menu changes seasonally to incorporate the freshest and most flavorful ingredients available. The restaurant also has an extensive 10,000+ wine list, featuring wines from California and around the world. The steaks, bread, sides, desserts, and cocktails were amazing. Don’t leave without having one of their espresso cocktails. Overall, The Ranch restaurant is a must-visit destination for foodies and anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Anaheim. With its exceptional cuisine and top-notch service, The Ranch is sure to exceed your expectations.
The Westin Anaheim Resort is also an ideal venue for meetings and events, with over 47,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space. The hotel’s state-of-the-art technology and expert event planning team ensure that every event is a success, whether it’s a corporate conference, wedding, or social gathering.
