Westin Hotels & Resorts

The renewing experience that's especially rewarding.

It's a hectic, non-stop world. Yet, with more than 180 Westin locations in 37 countries, life is soothing, nurturing, inspiring. With every touchpoint designed to inspire a guest's well-being, Westin is unique in the upper-upscale category. A timeless and refined design aesthetic plus an unsurpassed guest experience not only foster exceptional loyalty among affluent guests, but also produce RevPAR and ADR premiums that consistently outperform the competition.

Industry-acclaimed innovation is a signature of Westin, and a powerful asset for every developer partner. The first hotel brand to create, name and market a superior bed product, The Westin Heavenly^® Bed turned sleeping into celebrity, and launched a retail collection proving Westin loyalty extends beyond our hotels. The cachet of Westin is far-reaching. Westin's expanding international footprint is anticipated to grow to more than 200 properties by 2014, with a world of opportunity and diverse revenue streams awaiting visionary developers.

Starwood's clear focus on driving guest loyalty through innovative brands along with a powerful Centralized Delivery System and programs like Starwood Preferred Guest® are critical in times like these. Whether it is our Le Méridien, The Luxury Collection, Westin or Sheraton branded hotel, Starwood delivers for us.

GARY MENDELL

Chairman and CEO, HEI Hotels and Resorts

Now is the time you want to be working with a strong partner. Starwood offers strong brands that are clearly differentiated and relevant to today’s consumer. We are enthused about our new Westin development and equally excited about their select service brands.

BRUCE WHITE

Chairman and CEO, White Lodging

As Starwood’s largest owner, we value the strength of their brands, the dedication of their associates and their willingness to work with us to maximize the performance of our hotels. They are a strong partner with a commitment to quality and the ability to execute and perform through a wide array of brands, from the trend-setting W to the comfortable and revitalized Sheraton. We look forward to continuing to build upon our solid foundation with Starwood.

ED WALTER

President and CEO, Host Hotels and Resorts

Our Westin and Sheraton branded hotels have played a key role in the growth of our company over the past twenty years. Starwood’s fresh and inspiring conception of the guest experience has translated into a value premium that has enabled us to maintain pricing integrity during down cycles and robust rate advances during upswings, including the one we look forward to in 2011 and beyond!

DAVID J. BUFFAM

CEO, New Castle Hotels and Resorts

Starwood is a leading global partner. JHM has been able to leverage Starwood’s international brand strength and leadership to grow in markets both inside and outside North America. We entered India with the Four Points by Sheraton brand and we continue to delight guests with the Westin and Sheraton brands in North America. Regardless of the market, it’s critical to have a lifestyle brand leader like Starwood.

H.P. RAMA

CEO, JHM Hotels

Starwood’s innovative brands and strong marketing, sales and reservation platforms continue to differentiate our Starwood branded hotels from the other hotels in our markets. As we continue to grow we will continue to explore the various Starwood branded options.

J. DAVID MERRITT

Senior Vice President of Development, Marcus Hotels

As a long-term owner of upper-upscale hotels, Pebblebrook has benefitted from the strong performance and high quality of Starwood’s upper-upscale full-service brands, including Westin, W and Sheraton. Operationally, we appreciate Starwood’s flexibility, responsiveness and collaborative approach when addressing opportunities and challenges and finding creative solutions that are mutually beneficial. Starwood’s operational teams at our hotels are some of the finest in the industry, not to mention we have fun working with them. Given our consistent success and satisfaction with Starwood, we look forward to growing our successful partnership.

JON BORTZ

Chairman and CEO, Pebblebrook Hotels

As an owner and operator of Starwood brands such as Westin, Sheraton and Four Points, we enjoy a premium RevPAR performance in each of our markets. This is due in large part to the SPG® loyalty program, the exceptional guest experience which Starwood’s standards deliver and their sales and marketing support system. Starwood also continues to be the industry leader in innovative design and technology. We are honored to be part of the Starwood family and look forward to developing more Starwood-branded hotels with this outstanding hotel hospitality partner.
