The first Starwood resort was located in Mumbai in 1973, and since the 70s, the company has opened 26 other resorts under names including Westin, Sheraton, Four Points by Sheraton, the Luxury Collection and Le Meridien. With all of the different locations and brands to choose from, this makes Starwood the largest upscale US resort operation in all of India. Breaking down the future expansion plans, Starwood has 15 resorts under development in India alone. They have been working on six Aloft resorts, and three of which are scheduled to open this year.
