The founder of Starwood Hotels and Starwood Capital Group is to launch another new hotel brand, the first of which will open in London.

'Hospitality has been noisy and highly effective. Travel has just been noisy.'

Barry Sternlicht – who developed St Regis from one hotel into a global brand, and also founded W Hotels – is now launching Treehouse Hotels, which will open its first property in Q4 this year.


Following his development and sale of Starwood Hotels, which included the W and St Regis brands, to Marriott, Sternlicht went on to create 1 Hotels and Baccarat Hotels & Resorts under his SH Hotels & Resorts hotel management company.


Treehouse Hotels sits under SH and has been dubbed the “little brother” of 1 Hotels.
