Have you noticed the new hooded robe at the Heavenly Spa? Now featured in 14 Westin properties worldwide, the hood is intended to give people more control over how much they want to engage or disengage while at the spa. Want to be social and connect with your spouse or friends while in the spa? Put the hood down and you are ready for chatting and laughter. Prefer to sit quietly and use your spa time to contemplate and reflect? Put the hood up and it's like hanging a "do not disturb" sign on your brain. Up or down, the robes feel great!
