Global competition for an Eat Well Menu for Kids

Part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: HOT), Westin Hotels & Resorts has announced a global competition to reinvent recipes for the brand’s Eat Well Menu for Kids. Beginning next month, associates of more than 200 hotels and resorts will have six weeks in their kitchens to demonstrate their culinary creativity and recreate the kids menu for today’s smallest global guests. After a rigorous selection process, up to 40 of the world’s best recipes will be provided to each property, giving them the flexibility to create their own regionally-relevant Eat Well Menu for Kids.Today’s littlest travelers may or may not be adventurous eaters, but we thought it was important to offer families healthy menu options and introduce fresh alternatives for those who may prefer fries to faro,” said Brian Povinelli, Global Brand Leader, Westin Hotels & Resorts. “As a brand committed to our guests’ well-being, we are delighted to refresh the Eat Well Menu for Kids with input from our associates and their families with the goal to make eating well a bit more playful and appealing.”Four of the finalists will also be invited to host SuperChefs Cookery Classes, hands-on cooking experiences that allow younger guests to come into the kitchen, create the new recipes and be sous-chef for a day. This competition follows the recent launch of Westin Family, a global program promoting a sense of well-being for families through interactive programming and signature amenities offered at all hotels, as well as physical play spaces at many resorts. Witha growing global demand of family travel and their evolving needs, both programs reinforce Westin’s commitment to helping maintain our families well-being while on the road.
