Westin Hotels & Resorts: A Leader in Wellness Hospitality

Westin Hotels & Resorts is an American upscale hotel chain and a subsidiary of Marriott International . Originally founded in 1930 as Western Hotels in Seattle, Washington, the brand has evolved over decades of ownership changes—including periods under UAL Corporation, Aoki Corporation, and Starwood—before becoming part of the world's largest hotel company when Marriott acquired Starwood Hotels & Resorts in 2016 for $13.6 billion . Today, Westin operates as a distinct brand within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, which includes over 30 hotel brands.

For over a decade, Westin has positioned itself as the global leader in wellness within the hospitality industry . The brand's entire guest experience is built upon its core philosophy of empowering travelers to maintain their well-being while on the road. This is articulated through three core pillars: Sleep Well, Eat Well, and Move Well . This focus is brought to life through signature and award-winning amenities, most notably the iconic Heavenly® Bed, which was introduced in 1999 and became the first hotel bed to be sold commercially to the public . This commitment to physical rejuvenation extends to the WestinWORKOUT® fitness studios, guided running routes (WestinWORKOUT Routes), and healthy menu options.

With a global footprint spanning over 245 properties in more than 40 countries and territories, Westin continues to expand its reach, bringing its wellness-focused philosophy to key urban centers and resort destinations worldwide . Recent openings, such as The Westin Seoul Parnas in South Korea and The Westin Jaipur Resort & Spa in India, exemplify the brand's strategy of blending its global wellness standards with local cultural and design elements to create unique urban sanctuaries . As part of Marriott Bonvoy, guests at Westin can earn and redeem points across the entire Marriott portfolio, further solidifying its place as a premier choice for both business and leisure travelers seeking a balanced and restorative stay.
