Hotels near airports are often thought of as the perfect business traveler's stomping ground.

And while The Westin Los Angeles Airport, also referred to as Westin LAX, offers the perfect reprieve for the business traveler - with multiple meeting rooms for any type of conference and over 50,000 square feet of event space - it's also the ideal location for travelers who have only a short amount of time in the Los Angeles area.

Located just a short drive away from LAX, the Westin LAX allows visitors to relax as soon as they arrive. The hotel is all about wellness and revitalizing the tired traveler. Just hop on one of the hotel's 24/7 complimentary airport shuttles and arrive at the 12-story hotel and be ready to unwind from your travels.

Check-in is a breeze, and Bonvoy members are offered the convenience of even checking in on their phones ahead of time and using the app as their Mobile Key.

The property is littered with conveniences and amenities. Relaxation and wellness are the main focus points for this hotel - there are even sleep well essential oils located on each bedside table. These are so clutch if you struggle with sleeping in a different room other than your home, and it's a wonder more hotels don't offer it.

Of course, after an eventful day of meetings or exploring the LA area on your feet all day, some travelers only need a large, comfortable bed, which the Westin LAX firmly delivers.

If fitness is important during your travels, book the WELL Escape. Your room will come with an en-suite Peloton bike, where you can work off your jetlag as you are treated to views of the city or watch as the planes come in - depending on which side of the hotel your room is on. The package also comes equipped with workout gear rentals and customized VitalKits to keep you energized and revitalized.

For all guests staying on property, the Westin LAX has a fully stocked WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio with multiple cardio machines, free weights and plenty of room to complete your yoga routine. Or guests can choose to adjust to any time changes they may have experienced more leisurely by lounging by the second-floor rooftop pool.

You don't even need to leave the property to grab a bite to eat. CAFÉ BLVD has all your quick healthy options covered while the Daily Grill Restaurant & Bar offers all the American classics ready to be paired with one of their premier wine selections. Arriving late, but still needing something to eat? The hotel offers 24-hour room service with an array of options.

The Westin LAX offers a unique experience for those travelers wanting to experience the area. With the 'Touch Down LAX, Surf Manhattan Beach' package, guests will receive a 90-minute personalized surf lesson. Jenny Palomo, Westin LAX's own Surf Concierge, helps visitors arrange all their gear rentals, gives the morning surf report and shares all the best spots to catch a wave. Soon you'll be 'hanging ten' like a local.

Yes, the hotel is located near the airport, but there's much more to the area than just LAX. Situated between two local breweries - the El Segundo Brewery and R6 Distiller - you can experience some of the local tastes with one of their flights. For those wishing to partake in the surf package the hotel offers, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and El Porto Beach are all within about a twenty-minute drive.

Those wishing to experience other highlights of the Los Angeles area can book a hop-on, hop-off bus tour with City Sightseeing. Their route includes stops at hotels near LAX - so you'll just need to call their office to arrange pickup - and will take passengers through Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Downtown LA and more.

Spend the day taking in the sites or get a multi-day ticket that includes passes to Universal. Depending on traffic, Disneyland is just over thirty minutes away. Spend the day with Mickey and Minnie and experience all the fun of being a kid again at Pixar Pier.

With the Westin LAX, there is so much more than meets the eye. Yes, it is a nice hotel, but the unique packages and focus on relaxation and wellness really set this hotel apart.
