Groundbreaking for the first Westin in Raleigh took place last month. The new hotel and residences will be in an elegant 43-story tower in midtown Raleigh, NC. The property will be owned and managed by the Soleil Group and called “Westin Raleigh Hotel & Residences at Soleil Center”.
The tower is expected to be completed in 2009, featuring a design by architect Ralph Johnson, including a 290-room luxury hotel and 54 condominium residences on the upper 20 floors. The condominiums will have the option of one-third, one-half or full floor plates and residents will have full access to the services of the hotel, such as concierge, housekeeping, the indoor pool and fitness center.
Even though these are high-end luxury residences, they will guide the way for the continued expansion of living options throughout the Raleigh metro area.
