Element Hotels

Element Hotels, part of Marriott International's portfolio, is an upper-midscale extended-stay brand inspired by Westin. Launched in 2006 by Starwood Hotels & Resorts (now under Marriott), the brand was designed for the "eco-conscious, healthy, active consumer" . Element positions itself as a "laboratory for green building," having made history as the first major hotel chain to mandate that all its properties pursue LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for high-performance buildings . The brand's philosophy is centered on promoting harmony and balance, achieved through sustainable operations, natural light, and a design palette inspired by nature.

Element caters to guests who wish to maintain their wellness routines while traveling, whether for short or long-term stays . Every suite features a fully equipped in-room kitchen with energy-efficient appliances, a stove, microwave, and dishwasher, encouraging guests to eat nutritiously . The rooms also include the signature Westin Heavenly® Bed, spa-inspired bathrooms with rain showers, and modular, multi-purpose furniture designed for productivity and relaxation.

Sustainability is woven into the guest experience through numerous brand-standard amenities. Guests can stay active with the brand's signature Bikes-to-Borrow program, saline swimming pools, and 24/7 MOTION fitness centers . The hotel experience includes complimentary healthy breakfast (RISE) and evening receptions (RELAX) several nights a week, fostering a sense of community in the naturally-lit, multifunctional lobbies and outdoor patio spaces with fire pits . As part of its inclusive approach, Element also welcomes pets through its "Love that Dog" program.

With over 100 hotels globally, Element has expanded significantly from its first location in Lexington, Massachusetts, to key markets across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, with a strong focus on urban and high-visibility locations . The brand is part of Marriott Bonvoy®, offering members the ability to earn and redeem points for their stays.
