I don't plan to leave the city, but don't necessarily have to be in the centre. I love seeing how cities work, walking around and literally observing how day to day life is.

I had orginally planned on the Westin, then thought it was too far and decided on the JW or Sheraton. But now I'm reconsidering the Westin again.

Is there much around the Westin, not necessarily tourist attractions, but area's to stroll around, markets /night markets etc?

And the important question, how is the Westin for upgrades? and do they have a nicer lounge than the JW?

Thanks for your help.
