Four Points by Sheraton: Four Points by Sheraton was launched by ITT Sheraton in 1995 as a mid-
scale hotel brand. Originally the brand was created by renaming existing Sheraton "Inns" (a
smaller, limited service version of Sheraton Hotels). The new name avoided the confusion some
guests found in having two hotel categories (full service and mid-scale) with the same name
(Sheraton). These hotels joined Starwood along with Sheraton in 1998. Sheraton: Sheraton is
Starwood's 'flagship' brand, providing luxury hotel and resort accommodation. It began operating
in 1937 and was sold to Starwood in 1998 by ITT. Also, under the Sheraton brand are 7 Vacation
Ownership properties. 37

The Westin: The Westin Hotels and Resorts brand is Starwood's largest upscale hotels and resorts
brand. It was bought by Starwood in 1994 and is also the oldest brand within Starwood, dating
back to 1930. The Luxury Collection: The Luxury Collection brand began when ITT Sheraton
purchased a controlling interest in CIGA (Compagn iaItaliana Grandi Alberghi, or Italian Grand
Hotels Company), an Italian hotel chain, in 1994. Those hotels, as well as a number of top-tier
Sheraton Hotels, were then marketed as ITT Sheraton Luxury Hotels. After Starwood bought
Sheraton, they established a separate brand identity for The Luxury Collection and expanded it.
Both ITT Sheraton and later Starwood kept CIGA's original logo (the four horses of St. Mark) for
The Luxury Collection brand logo until 2010; each Luxury Collection hotel now uses its own logo.
Many hotels in The Luxury Collection are smaller establishments in converted palaces or other
significant buildings, others are restored historic hotels. Confusingly, some hotels in The Luxury
Collection which were originally part of the ITT Sheraton Luxury group kept their Sheraton name
when the Luxury division was spun off as a separate brand under Starwood. There are four such
hotels remaining today, operating with the name Sheraton, but not technically part of Sheraton.
