The Westin Providence is a Neo-Traditionalist skyscraper in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, occupied by the Westin Hotel. At 329 feet (100 m) , it became the fourth-tallest building in the city and the state on on February 15th, 2007, when the nearby slightly taller Residences at the Westin topped out. Brick facades and a pitched roof adorn the building.
With 364 rooms, it is the tallest and largest hotel in Providence, having usurped the title from the 1922 Providence Biltmore upon completion.
W m McKenzie Woodward, a local architectural historian and staff member of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission does not believe its styling to be architecturally innovative, calling it "yet another bland addition to the city's growing recent collection of buildings seemingly designed not to offend."
