Golf Resort Merger Doubles Diplomat’s Appeal

property now encompasses the former Diplo- mat Golf Resort & Spa, a member of the Star- wood Luxury Collection.Now, as one destination, theWestin Diplomat offers two unique experi- ences: golf and beachfront. SignatureWestin elements such as Heavenly

T

products, Super Foods, and the distinctiveWhite Tea scent have been integrated into the golf loca- tion’s 60 guest rooms and Links Restaurant & Lounge. While the full-service spa will be trans- formed into aWestin Heavenly Spa, the cham- pionship 18-hole golf course will continue to be managed by Troon Golf. This merger will allow a seamless transition for

attendees between the two locations, regardless of room type. Choose a corner suite with a wrap- around balcony overlooking the ocean and catch thehotel shuttle forashort rideover theIntracoastal Waterway to indulge in a spa treatment or a round of golf, or to volley a few tennis balls. If your meet- ing dictates a more intimate setting, then the 60- guest-room golf location, surrounded by lush banyan and mature palm trees, is ideal. The same shuttle can take guests to the

Westin Diplomat’s beach location for easy access to vast outdoor event spaces, as well as a con- vention center with more than 209,000 square feet of flexible meeting space and 39 breakout rooms. Also at the beach location are a variety of additional amenities, such as poolside and beach cabanas and several dining options.These include the property’s newest creation—Aizia, a sensual pan-Asian restaurant with deeply rooted traditional flavors presented with con- temporary flare to inspire the palette and the eye. Aizia opens at 6 p.m.,Wednesday through Sunday. At 11 p.m., the energy increases as the

HE WESTIN DIPLOMAT RESORT & SPA IN Hollywood, Fla., is excited to announce that with the start of the New Year the

lights dim to transform Aizia into a high-energy dance club. Lighter fare and sushi are served until 2 a.m.
