Westin

Westin is a global hotel brand in the upscale segment, offering accommodations and guest services at properties around the world. Westin hotels emphasize contemporary design, comfort, and wellness-oriented experiences designed for business and leisure travelers.

Corporate ownership and history: Westin is part of Marriott International’s portfolio, following Marriott’s 2016 acquisition of Starwood Hotels & Resorts.

Key programs and amenities: Westin markets several wellness- and family-oriented programs. The Heavenly Bed is a notable signature feature designed to improve sleep quality. WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studios provide in-house exercise facilities, while RunWESTIN offers guided running routes for guests. Westin Kids Club targets families with child-focused activities. Many properties also emphasize sustainable operations, healthy dining options, and locally inspired design.

Global presence and positioning: Westin positions itself in the mid-to-upper end of the hospitality market, aiming to attract travelers seeking reliable service, modern design, and wellness-oriented amenities. The brand competes with other upscale international hotel chains and maintains a broad presence in major cities, resort destinations, and transit hubs worldwide.
