A glam glass tower, straight outta downtown Houston, this slick internationalist could easily have defaulted to carbon-copy global style. But with the breezy outdoor lounges and cafes on adjacent Hibernian Pl, native plantings and fabulous Aboriginal art installations (sculptures, weavings, paintings and imprinted concrete panels), the Westin manages to feel very 'WA'. One of Perth's top hotels. Valet parking $55.
