Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide has added to its portfolio with the signing of SLS Las Vegas, a new resort on the Las Vegas Strip and Sahara Boulevard.
Featuring a total of 1,600 guestrooms and suites, three new hotel towers will be branded under Starwood’s recently launched Tribute Portfolio by the end of the year.
The 289-room LUX Tower will be converted to a W Hotel after renovation is completed in 2016.
The project will include the addition of nearly 14,500f² of new W-branded meeting and event space, a spa, a fitness centre, and an outdoor pool deck and bar.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts CEO Adam Aron said: "This is a perfect example of what Tribute Portfolio was designed to do: bring the power of Starwood to great independent hotels, while giving our Starwood Preferred Guest members and global guests more access to sought after destinations around the world.
"It also allows us to debut our iconic W brand on the world famous Las Vegas Strip, an incomparable stage for the dynamic energy and vibrant scene of W Hotels."
