A new brand of Westin hotels is set to make its first entrance into the metro Phoenix market with a four-story, 107-room hotel planned near Chandler Fashion Center, according to development plans submitted to the city.
Phoenix-based Glacier Development plans to open an Element by Westin hotel near Chandler Boulevard and the Loop 101 freeway, just west of the mall, by December 2016. It would be the Valley’s first Element hotel as the brand expands across the globe.
