Best for downtown dining, walkable sightseeing and a boutique riverfront experience in Fort Myers' River District.

Best for marina-front resort living, larger meetings and a full-service spa with water-based activities in Cape Coral.
When Luminary Hotel & Co. wins: choose Luminary if you want to be in the heart of Fort Myers' River District — walking access to restaurants, theaters and the waterfront plus a rooftop bar and riverfront restaurants make it a better pick for downtown exploration and smaller, design-forward stays.
When The Westin Cape Coral Resort At Marina Village wins: choose The Westin for a more traditional resort experience on a marina with on-site spa services, tennis courts, a larger pool complex, boat tours and extensive conference facilities — it’s better for meetings, weddings and guests who want a resort-with-activities stay on the water.
Bottom line: both are polished waterside properties, but Luminary is an urban, boutique hotel focused on downtown access and food & drink venues; The Westin is a larger marina-side resort with more on-site recreation, a full-service spa and extensive meeting space.
