Two Westin Timeshare resorts coming to Avon

The Colorado mountain resort town of Avon is getting two new Westin resorts near the Beaver Creek ski area.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: HOT) of White Plains, N.Y., owns both properties.

The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa is a 235-room, high-end hotel that's supposed to open in time for the 2008-09 ski season. East West Partners of Vail is developing the property, which is already under construction.

The Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas is a timeshare resort with 113 two-bedroom units on the east and west sides of the hotel. Starwood Vacation Ownership, which is developing the project, expects to start sales by 2008.

Timeshare units are sold in intervals, by the week or via a point system, according to VacationOwnership.com. Units are priced based on size, resort amenities, location and season.

Starwood Vacation Ownership, a Starwood Hotels division, already operates the Sheraton Mountain Vista and Lakeside Terrace timeshare resorts in Avon.

The new Westin hotel will feature the chain's patented Heavenly Bed as well as a "sensory welcome" including a white-tea scent, music and lighting. The Riverfront Mountain Villas will offer full access to hotel amenities, including concierge service, ski valet and gondola service to the Beaver Creek resort.

One of the world's largest hotel and resort owners, Westin Hotels has more than 850 properties in 95 countries and 145,000 employees. Its hotel brands include Sheraton, St. Regis, Four Points, W, Le Meridien, Aloft and Element, as well as Westin.
