SH Hotels & Resorts, an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group, is embarking on a significant global expansion plan in the luxury and lifestyle hotel sector, covering four continents and 13 countries.
Founded by Barry Sternlicht, the hotel management company operates three distinct brands: 1 Hotels, Baccarat Hotels & Resorts and Treehouse Hotels. With more than 30 hotels and residential projects in operation or under construction, the company is actively progressing projects at various stages of development.
“Our latest expansion is not just about extending our reach; it’s a chance to expose more individuals to our mission. In 1 Hotels, it’s about fusing sustainable luxury with the restorative power of nature. In Baccarat Hotels, we combine timeless elegance with modern sophistication. And in Treehouse Hotels, we ignite the imagination with whimsical charm and playful design. Each new property is a step forward in our journey to redefine what luxury means today and for future generations.” – Barry Sternlicht
Chairperson of Starwood Capital Group
Building on the success of flagship properties such as 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York and Treehouse London, the strategy includes transforming historic buildings in Europe and launching projects in the Middle East, USA, Mexico and Asia Pacific.
The expansion initiative encompasses both the construction of new properties and the transformation of existing hotels, marking SH Hotels’ entry into the branded residences business. An important aspect of the new properties will be the creation of resorts, which will focus on wellness, in line with the company’s strategy.
SH Hotels & Resorts aims to expand its portfolio while exploring new avenues in the luxury travel sector. The company is looking to the future with a focus on values such as innovation, sustainability and distinctive experiences. As part of its growth strategy, it is considering residential projects, with a particular focus on resort destinations to meet the growing demand from travellers worldwide.
The commitment to innovative design and forward-thinking architecture is evident in every property. By incorporating cutting-edge technologies, SH Hotels & Resorts seeks to personalise the luxury experience, adapting to guests’ individual preferences.
In the area of sustainability, SH Hotels & Resorts aspires to achieve significant reductions in CO2 emissions and zero waste operations, marking a new era of responsibility in the luxury hotel sector.
