Starwood Vacation Ownership (SVO), a division of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, will open its third vacation ownership resort in Hawai'i, The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas, on the island of Kaua'i. The resort is scheduled to open in April 2008.

"Starwood has a long history in Hawai'i, dating back to the early 1960's as Sheraton was the first major hospitality brand on the Hawaiian Islands," said Denise Wardlow, general manager of The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas. "This property gives our travel partners more options to attract upscale clients who are repeat guests to the island of Kaua'i - guests who desire the convenience of a fully-furnished kitchen, washer and dryer, plus all of the luxurious amenities and services of a Westin resort."
