Starwood & it's partners sold the Kierland Hotel to Host Corp. Starwood has retained the management contract for the next 20 years.
This was one of our concerns when we thought of buying a Kierland unit(resale). We loved the Hotel privileges/amenities that came with the Villas and we were apprehensive about Starwood selling the Kierland Hotel(& rebranding it).
At least for now Starwood will be in picture for the next 20 years and we will be on the lookout for Kierland units.
There is still a risk the new management could cut-off access to the Hotel pools/lazy river(like they did to WKORV owner's access to Westin Maui).
