Examples of starwood in a Sentence

1. Fred Hu:

   While attracted to Starwood's high-end global hotel portfolio, at the end of the day Anbang is a disciplined buyer, anbang has both the interest and the financial resources to do a deal of this size and more, but only at the right terms that make long-term financial sense.

2. Ryan Meliker:

   My guess is that Starwood wanted either a higher break-up fee, maybe a billion dollars, or a higher price from Anbang to offset the risk.

3. Jason Clampet:

   Expedia will have a lot more sway going in with hotels now and saying ‘ give us this preferred position, ’ but hotels can still sell their product on their own. It’s not like a milk company that has to rely on a store to sell the milk for them. They can just sell direct to consumers. And a larger brand like a Hilton or a Starwood or a Marriott has other distribution methods. They’re in a better position to negotiate than they have been before, and they’ve also come up with ways to give consumers incentives to book directly with them.
