Starwood Hotels and Resorts has announced plans to introduce its Westin brand to Tarpon Point Marina - an upscale waterfront community in Cape Coral, Florida, US - in late 2012.
The 262-bedroom Westin Resort at Tarpon Point Marina is to launch following completion of a renovation of The Resort at Marina Village, which originally opened its doors in 2009.
Freeman and Hasselwander Resort Properties owns the property, which houses a 4,000sq ft (372sq m) spa to be converted into a Westin Heavenly-branded spa shortly after opening.
The Westin Resort at Tarpon Point Marina will also offer a new Westin Kids Club and the newly-renovated WestinWORKOUT fitness studio, as well as extensive meeting space.
Starwood senior vice president of North America development Allison Reid said: "We are thrilled to enter the vibrant and increasingly popular Southwest Florida market.
"A long-time developer favourite, Westin continues to attract a growing share of conversion opportunities like this one, fuelling the brand's expansion across North America."
Chris Freeman and Brad Hasselwander of Freeman and Hasselwander Resort Properties added: "We believe Westin is a perfect fit for this harbour community."
