Two Travel Giants Take Sleep To New Heights

BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Westin Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR), today announced the latest in a series of sleep offerings that promise a better slumber for travelers, extending beyond just the guestroom.  Challenging the staid in-flight sleep experience, Westin continues to power ahead in partnership with Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) with the new Westin Heavenly® In-Flight Blanket rolling out in Delta's First Class cabins starting mid-November.

Inspired by design elements of the signature Westin Heavenly® Bed, this super-soft blanket will help ensure that travelers rest easy in the clouds. This marks an expansion to the Westin Heavenly In-Flight program; Westin Heavenly In-Flight Bedding, the iconic, luxurious white comforters and hypoallergenic pillows, have been featured in Delta One cabins since 2013.

"Westin has been leading the hospitality industry in giving guests the best night's sleep since we introduced the iconic Heavenly^® Bed more than 15 years ago," said Brian Povinelli, Global Brand Leader, Westin Hotels & Resorts. "Since then Westin continues to innovate, enhancing the sleep experience for guests: from in-room amenities and dining options to meaningful partnerships that promote better sleep before, during and after their stay with us."

In conjunction with these in-flight enhancements, Westin has launched a new Sleep Well package, recognizing that people's sleep routines are often most disrupted when on the road. In addition to accommodations and late checkout, when available, the package offers:

• A nightly credit for the Westin Sleep Well Menu, which provides a curated selection of sleep-enhancing, nutritious superfoods developed in partnership with SuperFoodsRx™ and available through in-room dining.
• A $100 credit to enjoy a relaxing spa treatment, tailored to soothe you into a good night's sleep, via Westin's In-Room Spa offering or at the hotel's spa where available.
• The brand's new bedside amenity, Sleep Well Lavender Balm, infused with the essential oils of lavender and chamomile and designed to ease tension and foster sound sleep.

Aiming to alleviate stress during, what is commonly known to be, the busiest travel month of the year, Westin will also gift a custom-designed, microfiber sleep mask and the Westin Heavenly In-Flight Blanket to guests who book and experience the Westin Sleep Well Package in the month of November.

Prices begin at $189, based on availability and subject to change. For a full list of participating hotels and to book the Westin Sleep Well package, visit westin.com/sleepwell-package.

For travelers craving a better night's sleep at home too, The Westin Heavenly In-Flight Blanket and a larger, retail size of the Westin Sleep Well Lavender Balm are now available for purchase at westin.com/store.
