Starwood Hotels & Resorts is introducing new guest room designs for hotels in its Westin and Sheraton brands, with features that include fold-out tables for room service trays and laptops, bedside tables with built-in outlets and LED reading lights.
Westin hotels are getting two new designs—Westin Classic and Westin Modern—that emphasize sustainable elements such as eco-friendly materials and nature-inspired design elements in neutral colors. Sheraton rooms, designed to convey a residential feel, will feature bolder colors and more traditional furnishings.
The first Westin hotels to showcase the new room designs will be the Westin Phoenix, which is scheduled to open February 2011; and the Westin Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego, which will complete a full renovation in early 2011. The first Sheraton hotels to feature the new room design are the Sheraton Red Deer in Alberta, Canada and the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel & Conference Center win Syracuse, N.Y., which are both scheduled to be renovated in early 2011.
