Nobody likes to walk into a smoky guest room.
The policy reflects "a demand from guests for a
smoke-free hotel experience," says Sue Brush, Westin senior vice
president. Westin research shows that 92% of its guests request a
non-smoking room.
The no-smoking trend — evident in the growing
number of city and state ordinances banning tobacco use in workplaces,
bars and restaurants — is prompting more hotels to go smoke-free.
