Starwood Signs SLS Las Vegas, Expands Global Footprint
Starwood Hotels & Resorts has signed the SLS Las Vegas, making its single largest addition of hotel rooms in North America since the recession. The three hotel towers will add more than 1,600 rooms to the Starwood brand – expanding the company’s global footprint by nearly half a percent.
The “LUX Tower” will be converted to a W Hotel, featuring nearly 14,500 square feet of new W-branded meeting and event space, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an exclusive outdoor WET pool deck and bar. It’s set to open in 2016.
The other two towers will operate as SLS Las Vegas, under Starwood’s newly launched Tribute Portfolio, a collection of independently run hotels.
