INTRODUCTION TO THE WESTIN HOTELS & RESORTS

Westin Hotels & Resorts has earned the reputation as one of the most innovative hotel brands
in the industry, responsible for a series of noteworthy firsts. The brands history dates back to
1930 when rival hoteliers S. W. Thurston and Frank Dupar united to create Western Hotels.
The brand, later renamed Westin Hotels & Resorts, is responsible for introducing many of the
services travelers today take for granted including 24-hour room service and hotel credit
cards.

Acquired by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. in 1998, Westin flourished.
Reasserting itself as an industry leader, Westin took the hotel industry by storm in 1999 when
it introduced the first-ever signature bed.
The launch of the now iconic Heavenly Bed was the catalyst that sparked a bedding war so
intense; it redefined how hotels compete for guests and forever reshaped the hospitality
experience.

Under Starwoods stewardship, Westin also developed its distinctive brand voice,
emphasizing personal, instinctive renewal and sensory elements that promote relaxation and
tranquility.
The pioneer of the hotel retail trend, Westin continues to aggressively expand its highly
successful retail efforts online, in hotels and in stores. Westin was the first hotel company to
gain national retail store presence when Nordstrom started carrying its Heavenly line in more
than 60 stores nationwide.
In 2006, Westin was the first hotel brand to introduce a smoke-free policy, and in 2007,
Westin was the first to offer in-room spa treatments at hotels worldwide.

CONCLUSION
Interning at The Westin Pune Koregaon Park, I have taken my first step to receive the
exposure to the vast world of hospitality. After completing my 20 weeks in F&B service and
4 week in human resources I have realised how important ones presence of mind is in order
to observe, learn and deal with daily procedures and events. It is a place where one is open to
immense amount of knowledge and getting an opportunity to grab them should not be left
unattended.
I have learnt a lot of technicals that one requires to run the department in an organised
manner but also realised that the most important aspect is guest satisfaction which requires
interpersonal communication skills, understanding of a situation and a thought to help
analyse things from different perspectives. I am very glad to get an opportunity to observe
few talented and skilled individuals talk to guests, solve problems, think on their feet and
come up with alternatives to satisfy the needs of the guest. To understand how every matter
on the list during a shift holds importance for the processing of the entire day. Working
amidst the associates at The Westin I have gained an ample amount of knowledge outside the
theory lessons, more interest in the department and also more curiosity to get into the depth
of every function of F&B service operations.
I would like to thank my training manager Mr. Sanjay Aratla to give me an opportunity to let
me work in my desired department, experience and learn the basics of operation that will help
me further to build my carrer in this hospitality industry and grow with the help of my
