Do Westin Hotels have Lounges ?
Not necessarily. Having a lounge is not a Westin Brand standard. Some properties do, some don't.
Refer to the forum Lounge Master list for more information

The Westin in Cleveland has an awesome lounge with free drinks as well. Westin Galleria Dallas also has a lounge with free drinks.
Westin in Indianapolis has one that puts out a small dinner.
Those are the ones I recall in the USA. The nines also has an amazing lounge and it is a luxury property.

No, it's not legal. Please perform a citizen's arrest on the Westin.

I thought that Starwood could introduce a luxury segment of hotels that have a brand standard that includes very nice Club Lounges as part of the standard.
I do not think Starwood have an equivalent of Grand Hyatt, Conrad level of brand that carries very good Club Lounges, and I hope this could be an area where Starwood can improve.
It will be nice if a new brand within Starwood could compete with club lounges vis-a-vis the likes of Grand Hyatt or Conrad, or even better against Shangri-la, Mandarin Oriental, Ritz Carlton, etc.
There was a point where I thought it was possible for Westin to be that brand, but these days, I thought Westins in general, are just slightly better than Sheratons.
What are the really strong club lounges within Starwood that is at Grand Hyatt/Conrad's level in terms of club lounge offerings?
(I believe someone can give their views on the difference between Grand Hyatt / Conrad lounges)

Park Hyatt, Conrad, JW Marriott, Mandarin Oriental and Ritz-Carlton are in the same category as The Luxury Collection and St. Regis brands. Although, I believe, this is off topic.

Oxon Flyer: Thank you for merging the Westin Executive Lounge discussion and creating a wiki!
Although there is an overall "lounge list" perhaps we can list Westin Lounges in this thread?

Bingo. Although I'm a resident in USA but my work is overseas (mostly East Asia) so I'm only used to standards in East Asia. Just taking a vacation with my family in USA and I must say I'm very underwhelmed (or should I say I'm very spoiled by Asian Starwood standards.)
