Westin Hotel Opens at Reynolds Crossing

We mentioned last week that the Westin Hotel is now open adjacent to Philip Morris USA/Altria in Reynolds Crossing.  The Times-Dispatch gives more detail:

The Richmond area’s newest upscale lodging, The Westin Richmond Hotel, has opened at West Broad Street and Forest Avenue just off Interstate 64.

The 250-room hotel, which opened last week, is the first Westin in the Richmond area. Located in the Reynolds Crossing office development, it aims to attract business travelers visiting nearby corporate offices, such as the Altria Group Inc. headquarters.

“It is a great location as far as being equidistant from downtown and Short Pump, right off I-64 and Broad Street,” said Feliks Schwartz, the hotel’s general manager. “I don’t think it gets much better than that.”

While the target customer is a business traveler, “we cater to families, too,” Schwartz said. Room rates range from $139 to $159 on weekends and $189 to $209 on weekdays.
