FOR PREMIUM & LUXURY BRANDS
The AAA Four-Diamond Wellness Haven Near Disneyland® Resort Earns Top Honors for Hospitality Excellence, Guest Experience, and Operational Distinction in North America.
ANAHEIM, Calif. – (July 1, 2026) The Westin Anaheim Resort announced today that it has been awarded Marriott International’s prestigious 2025 Hotel of the Year in the Premium & Luxury Brands category for North America. This elite accolade recognizes the property’s unwavering commitment to exceptional guest service, innovative execution of the Westin wellness brand, and standard-setting operational performance over the past year.
Marriott International’s Hotel of the Year award is one of the company's highest honors, fiercely contested among thousands of properties across North America. It is presented to a hotel that not only demonstrates unparalleled operational excellence and seamless brand standard integration but also achieves market-leading scores in guest satisfaction, associate engagement, and community stewardship. Following its previous recognition as Marriott’s 2021 Opening of the Year and its subsequent win of the 2024 Best Full-Service Guest Experience Award, this latest honor establishes The Westin Anaheim Resort as a premier crown jewel in Marriott’s luxury and premium portfolio.
"We are incredibly humbled and deeply honored to receive this monumental recognition from Marriott International," said Nicholas Price, General Manager of The Westin Anaheim Resort. "Winning Hotel of the Year is an extraordinary milestone, but it is truly a reflection of our people. I am profoundly proud of our team of dedicated associates who bring their passion, heart, and excellence to work every single day. This award doesn't belong to the building; it belongs to every housekeeper, culinarian, front desk agent, and leader who has poured themselves into making this property so special. Our mission has always been to create unforgettable memories for our guests, and this achievement proves that our team does exactly that, at the highest tier imaginable."
Since opening its doors in June 2021, the AAA Four-Diamond resort has redefined the hospitality landscape in Southern California. Located directly across the street from the Disneyland® Resort, the 618-room hotel gracefully honors Anaheim's historic orange grove roots with its biophilic, forward-thinking design. The property serves as a relaxing haven of wellness and renewal, featuring 121 expansive suites, the signature WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio, a resort-style pool, and 53,896 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting space, including a 16,120-square-foot grand ballroom.
The Westin Anaheim Resort’s award-winning year was bolstered by its highly celebrated food and beverage program. The property boasts seven signature restaurants and bars, including the spectacular RISE Rooftop Lounge—Anaheim’s premier outdoor rooftop destination offering unblocked panoramic views of the Disneyland® Resort evening fireworks.
Developed and managed by Wincome Hospitality, the resort's award continues a legacy of excellence for the ownership group, which previously secured Marriott Hotel of the Year titles in 2017 and 2018 for its sister property, Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel.
