“We are very honored for this recognition and grateful to everyone who has supported us,” said Brian Harrier, General Manager of The Westin Riverfront. “We have completed several major renovations at the resort this year – from upgrading our Athletic Club with amazing new TechnoGym equipment to launching a delicious new restaurant concept with Chef Richard Sandoval. The snow just started falling on the high peaks this weekend and we are getting excited for another fantastic ski season here in Colorado.”
