There is nothing worse than having to say goodbye to your family and friends to go away on a business trip. You have to leave the comfort of your home and the luxury of Shanghai life behind you for uncertainty and a potentially terrible hotel. However, if your boss is putting you up in the Westin Nanjing, then you can breathe a sigh of relief because this place is pretty special.

You know what you are going to get with a Westin hotel. Their international reputation for a high quality product and faultless customer service guarantee a level of satisfaction rarely matched and never beaten.

The newest hotel in the chain is located in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Jiangsu’s capital Nanjing, in the middle of Hunan Road’s Central Business District. Only 15 minutes away from the train station, the people in charge really couldn’t have picked a better spot.

Huge in both size and ambition, the Westin Nanjing is at the top of the Nanjing International Center, the building provids the space for the hotel's 234 rooms and suites and stunning views over the city’s Xuanwu Lake.

The rooms at the hotel adhere to the standards that are expected by the modern business traveller. Elegantly designed and kitted out with refreshing White Tea Aloe bath amenities, 42” LCD HDTVs, iPod docking stations and high speed internet, it all adds up to make one of the best nights in a hotel you can imagine.

The Westin offers plenty of choices when it comes to restaurants and lounges. The bright and refreshingly decorated all-day dining location Seasonal Tastes has both the option of an a la carte menu or a fantastic buffet selection, whilst the Chinese eatery The Five Zen5es provides modern Huaiyang cuisine in a gorgeous setting and, with numerous private dining options, is perfect for a business lunch.

When it comes to MICE, the Westin Nanjing has all your bases covered. With over 1,000 square metres of meeting and banquet space, there is literally no event that can’t be catered for. At 530 square metres the Grand Ballroom is one of the largest of its type in Nanjing and can be split into three separate areas each featuring independent stage lights, high-definition projectors and advanced AV equipment.

Whatever your reason for visiting Nanjing, with the Westin’s established name and excellence in service from both business guests and pleasure seekers, you really can’t go wrong choosing the hotel. From the stunning views and comfortable rooms to the excellent food and professional MICE solutions, a night at the Westin Nanjing can be whatever you want… you just have to ask.
