In 1997 the Westin Excelsior has entered a new phase in its history when a restoration and renovation was completed. The renovation was a prime example of the Luxury Collection philosophy in such matters, which aims to highlight those historical and architectural features of its hotels that best enhance their affinity with the atmosphere and style of their host cities. A philosophy which considers the hotel as an integral part of the city, and a reference point in its artistic, cultural and business life.
