By GlobalDataAccording to Starwood, the hotel was selected for the portfolio launch due to its distinct exterior architecture, luxurious Cubitt Room, luggage and door tags, King’s Cross kiosk, self-serve pantry on each floor, Plum & Spilt Milk restaurant, as well as the GNH Bar.
After introducing the portfolio in the Royal Palm South Beach Miami, US, Starwood aims to add Coral Gables and Fort Lauderdale in Florida, to its properties.
Starwood intends to expand the brand to 100 hotels by 2020, with locations in high-demand destinations and markets where SPG members travel.
