Hotel to occupy nine floors of new skyscraper
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. has unveiled plans to open its first Westin locale in Phoenix. The 242-key Westin Phoenix Downtown, which is slated to open in February 2011, will occupy nine floors of the new, 26-story Freeport McMoRan Center skyscraper.
“Westin continues to be a market leader in the upper-upscale segment fueled by the success of its distinctive wellness positioning,” said Paul Sacco, senior vice president of North America development. “Looking ahead, we have identified tremendous opportunities to grow the Westin brand in key markets across the Unites States through new builds, conversions and adaptive re-use development projects like the new Westin Phoenix Downtown.”
