Lonely Planet review

The Westin's lobby speaks with a trace of a Mexican-Spanish accent. Carved, chairs with high, tapestry-upholstered backs sit next to potted ferns. Wrought-iron rails rope off the recessed, exposed-brick lobby balconies over the river. They're also smokers' decks. And in the guest rooms, ornate scrolled metal beds do the talking.

Tuesday through Saturday evenings in the lobby, complimentary aguas frescas (fruit-infused waters) are served with pan de polbo (cinnamon cookies). Friday and Saturday nights a guitarist strums out melodies - muy romántico. In the library-like El Rincon de Maria bar you can enjoy tapas at happy hour, and a mean margarita any time. To really feel imperial, book a parlor suite with a large balcony either facing the city or the river. Standard rooms aren't too shabby either, ensconced in luxury fabrics like silk and damask. Having made Condé Nast's gold list several years, the Westin is quite popular. Rooms book up more than a year in advance for the annual city-wide Fiesta in April. Year round though, the hotel hums with activity.
