Starwood unveils new ELEMENT brand
Starwood’s recently unveiled, extended-stay brand, ELEMENT, has several signature touches:
- A dramatic multi-story window wall will flood the lobbies with natural light.
- Public spaces in the hotels will include tranquil water features and design touches inspired by nature.
- The new hotels will have an outdoor area with a courtyard and patio where guests can socialize and relax.
- So-called “smart” design features will include modular furniture designed by encourage multi-tasking and swiveling flat-screen televisions.
Said Sue Brush, senior vice president of Westin Hotels & Resorts:
“This brand is about smart design features inspired by nature, and creating space where guests can be ‘in their element.’ “
The name ELEMENT was chosen because it best describes the brand’s attributes, she added.
No timetable was announced but the brand will soon be introduced in major destinations worldwide.
