If you are looking for a little relaxation but want to be close to all the activities Orlando has to offer, your reservations at The Westin Imagine Orlando. This fabulous art-deco hotel is our hotel of the week for July 12, 2010.  Located on Universal Boulevard, it is conveniently located to the area’s most popular attractions.

Keeping with the Westin Traditions

Westin Hotels & Resorts is one of my favorite lodging chains.  Their service and accommodations have always been excellent in my experience.  But I particularly like The Westin Imagine because of its art-deco style.  These touches really make this hotel stand out.  The rooms are nicely appointed and some have kitchenettes or full-sized kitchens.  That can bring additional cost savings when you can prepare meals in your hotel room versus eating out all the time.  Did I mention the quest rooms have Heavenly Beds®?  They are the bomb in my opinion.
