Wear a connection to a distinctive chapter in hotel history with this Starwood-inspired polo shirt. Founded in 1969 as Hotel Investors Trust, Starwood expanded through the acquisitions of Westin and the Sheraton portfolio, launched W Hotels, and added Le Méridien and Aloft to its story. The company later emphasized hotel management and franchising before its acquisition by Marriott in 2016. A considered choice for hospitality professionals, brand-history collectors, and travelers interested in the companies behind renowned hotels.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide began in 1969 as Hotel Investors Trust, a real estate investment trust. It later operated as Starwood Lodging, formed by Starwood Capital to take advantage of a tax break, with hotels across North America under different names. In 1995, Barry Sternlicht acquired and reorganized the company. Starwood expanded through major brand acquisitions, including Westin, purchased in 1994 and later integrated into the group, and Sheraton, Four Points by Sheraton, and The Luxury Collection, acquired from ITT Sheraton in 1998. It launched W Hotels in 1999, acquired Le Méridien in 2005, and introduced Aloft that year. Under CEO Steven J. Heyer, the company shifted toward hotel management and franchising, selling many company-owned hotels. Its headquarters move from White Plains, New York, to Stamford, Connecticut, was announced in 2009 and completed by January 2012. In November 2015, Marriott International announced its acquisition of Starwood for $12.2 billion; the acquisition followed in 2016. Starwood's loyalty program, Starwood Preferred Guest, merged with Marriott's program in 2018. Marriott disclosed a security breach affecting the Starwood brand that November.
