Description
According to the Westin’s brochure, "a business hotel must run like a business hotel, but it doesn’t have to feel like one." And this one doesn’t. In fact, with its refined décor, warm ambiance and long list of amenities, you’d never know it was a business hotel. It’s really more like an elegant resort, which explains why so many weddings, receptions and parties are held here.
Set on the cusp of a palm-lined drive near the edge of the bay, and just two minutes from the airport, the Westin is surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Even the lobby has a calming influence, with its rich mahogany paneling, custom carpet in vibrant autumn shades, and lush floral arrangement in the center.
From here it’s a short walk to the banquet rooms, and by the time you reach them, you’re expecting something sophisticated and tasteful. You won’t be disappointed. The Westin Ballroom, where most weddings, large meetings and special events take place, is a very lovely room. Brides are usually overjoyed with the décor, and have been known to exclaim, "Oh, this will match my dress perfectly!" That’s because the walls are papered in a neutral champagne-and-taupe print that gives off a subtle gold sheen, and the coffered ceiling is white. One of the most striking features of this ballroom is the lighting. Instead of traditional chandeliers, there are fixtures fashioned from white globes, seemingly "scattered" behind a veil of pearl strands. When the lights are dimmed, you feel like you’re gazing at clusters of stars, shining through golden clouds. Additional romantic lighting comes from alabaster-and-brass wall sconces. Although the Ballroom can be divided into four sections, only one event at a time is scheduled, so you can tailor the size of the space to fit your needs.
The expansive foyer area in front of the ballroom is not only refreshing to the eye, it’s large enough to be set up with fountains, plants and an hors d’oeuvre buffet and have plenty of room left over for a crowd to mingle comfortably. And if you have kids at your event, you’ll be ever-grateful to the Westin—they make a room with childcare available just off the foyer.
Smaller weddings and meetings are held in the Bayshore Ballroom, an intimate space with crystal chandeliers, alabaster wall sconces, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pool atrium. The atrium itself is popular for cocktail parties and more informal receptions. Huge potted ferns and rubber trees, as well as colorful flowers set around the pool, soak up the sunlight from the vaulted skylit "ceiling" and create a tropical ambiance.
Two dozen other rooms are available for functions, and award-winning chefs will create custom, culturally diverse menus. The combination of beautiful facilities, excellent food and personal service generates lots of repeat business for the hotel. Their "Letters To The Hotel" binder includes pages of laudatory comments such as, "The Westin is the only place to hold an event in San Mateo County! Period!" and "My daughter’s dream of a perfect wedding day came true!" Read them all and you come away with a sense that guests feel quite welcomed here and very well taken care of. It’s absolutely clear why they return to the Westin time after time—for many of them it’s like coming home.
