The Westin closes for a renovation on November 2, 2026. The work is expected to take at least five months, so the resort, its restaurants and Heavenly Spa reopen in spring 2027 at the earliest. The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa is at Two Grasslawn Avenue, on the beach in the Port Royal resort area at the north end of the island, just outside the gate of the residential Port Royal Plantation. It is a Marriott Bonvoy hotel, so Bonvoy points and status work here. Guests at the Ocean Palms villas nearby share its beach, spa and restaurants.
The Westin is a quieter corner of the island than the south end, and it sits near Port Royal’s golf. If you are thinking of the Marriott that used to stand in Palmetto Dunes, that hotel is now the Hilton Beachfront Resort and Spa.
Next door, Port Royal Golf Club hosts the island’s biggest car show every fall, the Hilton Head Concours d’Elegance & Motoring Festival.
What guests say
Guests pick the Westin for the rooms and the view: clean, comfortable beds and a balcony over the water. The beach is a short walk, the pools and restaurants give plenty of choice, and staff are named often for birthday touches and friendly service. The complaint that recurs is the resort fee, so check what it covers before you book.
Rooms at the Westin
Rooms carry the Westin Heavenly Bed and a large bathroom, with balconies, and many have ocean views. There are suites for families. Guests often say the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable, and that the balcony view is the reason they pay for an ocean room.
Heavenly Spa
Heavenly Spa is the Westin’s own spa, inside the resort and open every day. It has nine treatment rooms, including rooms for couples, with massage, facials and body treatments, a salon, and a sauna, steam room and hot tub. Hotel guests and visitors can both book. Treatments, prices and booking are on the Heavenly Spa page, and the Hilton Head spa guide compares it with the island’s other spas.
Pools and Beach
The resort has three outdoor pools, with cabanas and loungers, and a white sand beach.
Restaurants at the Westin
The Carolina Room serves farm-and-sea-to-table dinners indoors, View 32 is the outdoor option, Splash is the poolside bar and grill, and Ingredients is the lobby coffee bar. There is a breakfast buffet; check the resort for hours, which change by season.
Weddings at the Westin
The Westin is one of the island’s larger wedding venues, with a dedicated wedding team. See how it compares on our wedding venues page.
