History

The Westin Dragonara opened in April 1997 with 311 guest rooms, including 30 suites with balconies overlooking the Mediterranean. It had three restaurants, two poolside snack bars and a cocktail lounge, while its amenities included an indoor and two outdoor pools and two tennis courts. The hotel was adjacent to the island's only casino.[2]

After renovating its Luxury Bay Suites in 2018[3], the hotel announced in July 2020 it has completed a €40 million makeover and the prime minister toured the hotel after the renovation.[4] The conception of the renovated suites and guest rooms was made by London-based interior designer Lynne Hunt.[5][6]
