Founded by hotel visionary Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group, who developed St. Regis from one hotel into a global brand and founded W Hotels, 1 Hotels has a sole focus to capture the beauty of nature in a hotel and commit to safeguarding it.

Committed to creating a sustainable, beautiful and inspiring hotel experience, each hotel venture poses the question of ‘are we doing everything we can to keep this world around for the next generation?’ showcasing that people can live well, live green and still live luxuriously.

Making its debut in 2015, the affiliated Baccarat Hotels & Resorts draws upon the 250-year history of the iconic French crystal maker to deliver a distinctive, personalized experience in the world’s most illustrious locales. 

Distinguished by a singular sense of glamour and celebration, as well as a groundbreaking vision of modern luxury, Baccarat Hotels & Resorts sets a new standard for the ultimate lifestyle experience – reimagining excellence through impeccable service and inspired artistry.

SH Hotels & Resorts President, Arash Azarbarzin says the common thread that ties both brands together is their team, through working together with the best people and the most engaged team, the group can continue to drive change and delight guests.

1 Hotel Melbourne will open in 2023.
