Westin Hotels Launches Healthy Culinary Program

Westin Hotels & Resorts has launched a new worldwide culinary program to help travelers fuel their workouts, productivity and sleep through food, taking guests’ individual dietary needs and preferences into account. Westin will also implement responsibly sourced, and organic items wherever possible. The new menu will be available at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and through in-room dining.

Celebrity chef and wellness expert Dan Churchill has also launched his Ancient Grain Power Bowl, crafted specially for Westin. The bowl features quinoa, amaranth and coconut milk with house-made peanut butter and strawberry chia seed jam and is topped with walnuts. The dish will be available at seven select properties (Westin Denver Downtown, The Westin Nashville, The Westin Bayshore Vancouver, The Westin at the Woodlands, The Westin Edina Galleria, The Westin Cape Coral, and the Westin Sarasota) through June 30.

“We know that travel is stressful, and that it is increasingly difficult for travelers to maintain their wellness routines while on the road. Sticking with an exercise routine, prioritizing a good night’s sleep, and focusing on nutrition helps us feel better, be more productive and allows us to be more present during our travels,” said Brian Povinelli, Westin’s Global Brand Leader. “Our new sourcing promise and commitment to regionally-relevant menus and personal dietary needs make it easy for travelers to maintain their personal eating habits while also getting a taste of their destination, all without leaving the hotel.”

Today, Westin has more than 225 Run Concierges around the world, who host group runs and encourage runners of all levels to explore their destination. Guests can also tap into the run concierge network for TRX training in WestinWorkout fitness studios. Those who want to pack light can take advantage of Gear Lending and rent workout apparel and sneakers for a fee.
