Social Networking – Love to travel? Love your job? Have unique
experiences and fun stories to share, great photos to illustrate them with?
StarwoodPro knows the internet is not just a tool, or a resource. It’s the way
we now connect to the world. We are working on new ways to utilize Web 2.0 into
making business a pleasure, and travel a way we all connect to each other, in
person, as well as online. Get ready to share your stories!
Green is Not a Trend – As we created waves throughout the industry by
the launch of element®, the first hospitality brand that will require all its
hotels to pursue the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) certification, we received confirmation we struck
gold. Element® Lexington, the flagship hotel - is the first Starwood hotel to
earn Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's program and the
first hotel in Massachusetts to achieve this prestigious rating. A LEED
certified building is one which has demonstrated a whole-building approach to
sustainability in five key areas of human health and environmental impact:
sustainable site development, water efficiency, energy performance and climate
protection, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
As we move forward with concern for the future in all of our hands, Starwood is
actively transferring the knowledge we derived from this working laboratory of
green development across our portfolio of 9 world-class brands, as well as our
corporate offices. Efficient and responsible use of resources, and
environmentally sustainable properties is our goal, and we will utilize what
methods we can to reduce our global footprint.
Special Events – Celebrations and business go hand in hand, and we will
have a lot to celebrate as we open new hotels and expand into new regions and
cultures. As Starwood continues our global expansion, we want you to continue
to be our partners for success. Look for us at tradeshows, expos, grand
openings, and everywhere you think of luxury travel.
