The Westin Anaheim Resort Named Marriott International’s 2025 Hotel of the Year

The Westin Anaheim Resort has earned one of Marriott International’s top property honors, being named the company’s 2025 Hotel of the Year for Premium & Luxury Brands in North America.

The Anaheim resort received the recognition for its guest service, wellness-focused experience and operational performance during the past year. The award is considered one of Marriott International’s highest honors and is selected from thousands of properties across North America.

Located directly across from Disneyland Resort, The Westin Anaheim Resort has built a reputation as a destination for travelers looking to combine theme-park access with a more upscale, wellness-oriented hotel experience.

The 618-room property opened in June 2021 and has previously earned recognition from Marriott, including the company’s 2021 Opening of the Year award and its 2024 Best Full-Service Guest Experience Award.

The AAA Four-Diamond resort features 121 suites, the WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio, a resort-style swimming pool and nearly 54,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Its largest event space is a 16,120-square-foot grand ballroom.

The hotel’s design also pays tribute to Anaheim’s agricultural history, incorporating elements inspired by the region’s former orange groves while emphasizing natural materials and biophilic design.

Wellness is a major part of the Westin experience, with spaces and amenities designed to give guests an opportunity to recharge during their stay. The property’s location also makes it convenient for visitors traveling to Disneyland while providing a retreat from the activity of the surrounding resort district.

Food and beverage offerings have also contributed to the hotel’s recognition. The resort has seven restaurants and bars, including RISE Rooftop Lounge, which offers outdoor seating and panoramic views of the Disneyland Resort. The rooftop has become particularly popular for guests looking to watch the evening fireworks from above the crowds.

Nicholas Price, general manager of The Westin Anaheim Resort, credited the hotel’s employees for the award, emphasizing the role of the team in delivering the guest experience.

The property is developed and managed by Wincome Hospitality, which has previously received Marriott Hotel of the Year honors for its sister property, Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, in 2017 and 2018.

The latest award further establishes The Westin Anaheim Resort as one of Marriott’s standout premium properties in North America, while reinforcing Anaheim’s growing appeal as a destination for travelers seeking luxury accommodations near Disneyland.

The Westin Anaheim Resort is located at 1030 West Katella Avenue in Anaheim, California.
