The Westin Resort & Spa, Himalayas

The property is truly stunning and impeccably maintained, offering a sense of understated luxury throughout. Every team member—from the front office to F&B, spa, and housekeeping - demonstrated exceptional professionalism and warmth, ensuring a seamless and memorable stay. As this is a public forum, I will refrain from mentioning names, but the service across all departments was consistently outstanding. The high tea experience from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, paired with the serene Ganga Aarti, is a beautifully curated touch that adds depth and soul to the stay. The panoramic views from the 11th floor—especially from the swing during sunset—were nothing short of mesmerizing, creating moments of pure tranquility. The property also offers a wonderful morning yoga session from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM, which was both refreshing and grounding, setting a perfect tone for the day. Guests can additionally opt for a Nadi Pariksha at the spa, where the doctor explained the process and insights with remarkable clarity and grace. The spa itself is elegant and serene, and the therapist was highly skilled, with an excellent understanding of pressure points. The massage was deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, leaving a lasting sense of well-being. Evenings at the Pebble Bar were equally delightful, with a refined ambience and expertly crafted cocktails. The bartender’s finesse and attention to detail elevated the experience further. Overall, the property offers a flawless blend of luxury, wellness, and thoughtful experiences, making it a destination we would gladly return to.

We had a truly wonderful stay at the resort. Everything from the ambiance to the service exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely amazing, with great variety and taste. A special mention to Neha Bisht at the front desk for her warm hospitality and helpful nature, which made our experience even better. Also, heartfelt thanks to Bakul Gaur for the excellent service and support throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

I’m sharing this review a bit late, but we stayed at The Westin Resort & Spa, Himalayas from 13th to 15th June 2025 for a family vacation. The resort definitely gives a premium feel, though it is on the expensive side. I feel the high pricing is partly due to the hype created by people and influencers. That said, it was still a very enjoyable family trip. The pool areas are excellent, and my daughter enjoyed them a lot, as she loves spending time in the pool. The weather was pleasant, and the location is beautiful. There is also a kids’ play area, which is very helpful; children can stay engaged while parents get some time to relax. I belong to Uttarakhand, so the surroundings felt very natural and familiar, not artificial or overdone. The views were lovely, and even though we didn’t step out of the resort for two days, we never felt bored. One area where improvement is needed is the buffet food. The taste was average compared to the à la carte food, which was much better. Overall, the stay was very good, relaxing, and family-friendly. A nice place for a peaceful getaway if you’re looking to unwind.

We had an amazing stay at The The Westin Resort & Spa, Himalayas, Rishikesh. From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and perfectly managed. The hospitality was outstanding, the property is beautiful, and the food was excellent. Once you are here, you’ll feel luxury at every corner. ||A very special thanks to *Anisha*, (the one in the picture with us) who truly went above and beyond for us. Her prompt responses, warm attitude, and thoughtful gestures added a beautiful personal touch and made our stay exceptionally memorable. The entire staff was humble, courteous, and always willing to help. Housekeeping was quick and efficient — thanks to Gaurav — and Sunaina was also a wonderful host.||Highly recommended for a peaceful, luxurious, and memorable stay. Truly a must-visit property in Rishikesh!

We had a truly wonderful stay at the resort from 27th to 30th January, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. A very special note of thanks to Mr. Suman Kundu, Rooms Division Manager, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. At a remote resort location, his prompt attention to every request—including arranging emergency medicines personally—was deeply reassuring and reflects exceptional commitment and care. Our heartfelt thanks also to Ms. Sharju and Mr. Suraj at the Akasa Restaurant for their outstanding hospitality. From recommending authentic local cuisines to accommodating healthy meal preferences, every dining experience was delightful. The thoughtfully packed meal for our return journey was a lovely and much-appreciated gesture. We would also like to acknowledge Mr. Vivek Pandey, Director – Food & Beverage, for maintaining such high standards across the dining experience. In fact, appreciation is due to everyone at the resort—from the courteous security team, the efficient front desk and check-in staff, to the helpful travel concierge. Each person contributed to making our stay smooth, comfortable, and memorable.

Room and service are superb, with very good rooms and beautiful views. However, the food quality does not meet Westin’s 5-star standards. The taste is average, menu options are limited, and overall quality needs improvement. Room service is also quite slow. Recommended only if you are looking for good rooms and views; for better food quality along with luxury, Taj is a better choice.

Till the time we reached the hotel to the time we left the experience was just awesome.||Starting from the Check in, Mr Ayan Sheikh made it so smooth for us. He gave us hotel tour and he helped us till the rooms and made sure that we are comfortable enough.||Rooms are spacious, cleaned and housekeeping was quick. Anything we asked for was there in 5-7 mins.||Food, which is always necessary to make the stay complete it was amazing. They had big breakfast spread and the dal makhani and kulcha’s were next level.||The best part was the hospitality. The whole staff was so pleasing. It all made a memorable trip for us.

This is a place that has some great rooms. The rooms are large and well designed. The bathrooms are beautiful. This is a place where families would be expected to come to spend significant time at the property itself and the rooms are designed for it. The hotel has a kids activity centre and play area, a lovely sky deck and a restaurant that serves an elaborate breakfast. The staff is very helpful but the service is a bit slow and I felt that the staff have been bound in too many rules. This needs improvement. The location is terrible if your purpose is to visit Rishikesh. It's close to the Ananda Spa but around 50 minutes drive from Rishikesh and all attractions there, such as the Ram jhula. One wing of the hotel will have great views of the valley. At times the hotel is higher than the clouds making for an amazing view, but the views from one of the wings are non existent. In case you come here for a staycation, the view from the room could make it may your visit.
