The Westin National Harbor
Celebrates Grand Opening with one of a kind fragrance.

Fort Washington, MD- Sept 15, 2008 SREE Hotel, LLC and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) celebrated the grand opening of The Westin National Harbor, a newly constructed, 195 room luxury hotel in Prince George’s County, Maryland with an extravagant event that treated local politicians, hotel executives, corporate clients and members of the media to an afternoon of "awakening the senses" through taste, massage, and fragrance as they toured the new hotel.

“We are so very excited and proud to have a hotel of this caliber here in Prince George’s County,” said Prince George’s County Executive Jack B. Johnson who attended the afternoon event, “and we recognized that more than 55% of the Westin staff are residents of Prince George’s County making this a true economic partnership for business, the residence of our county and all of those who made this Potomac River waterfront hotel a reality.”

Sue Brush, Senior Vice President, Westin Hotels & Resorts shared the vision of the Westin brand saying that “The Westin’s sensory-rich environment, signature Heavenly Beds, botanicals and mood lighting at The Westin National Harbor are designed to enable personal renewal and send guests and visitors home feeling better than when they arrived.

More than 250 guests toured the hotel’s beautifully appointed guestrooms, Deluxe Suites, took a massage in The Westin WORKOUT® fitness center, found appetizers in the hotel’s full-service restaurant, Sauciety, saw the 1,800 square-foot ballroom and experimented with scent at one of two fragrance bars. Each fragrance bar was hosted by a professional perfumer who helped guests with a very personal and unique experience in selecting one of three fragrances specially created for the grand opening.

“It has been a wonderful turn out,” said Vinay Patel, Vice President of Sales and Operations, SREE< Hotels, LLC “Guests had a chance to see, smell, taste, and feel The Westin National Harbor’s spectacular waterfront view, refreshing atmosphere, superior service and signature Westin amenities.”

The Westin National Harbor is a luxury property on the shores of the Potomac River in Maryland and only a ten-minute drive from Alexandria, Arlington and Washington, D.C.
