We feel so fortunate to have Tavya Chang's leadership guiding Learning & Development. Her care and dedication make such a meaningful impact on our team members every day.
✨ Full-circle moment ✨ Last month I had the honor of visiting 1 Hotel South Beach—the very place where my Starwood journey began back in 2017. Standing there felt like coming home, but also like looking into a mirror of possibility. When I started my career, I thought growth was about mastering tasks. What I’ve learned since is that growth is about mindset, purpose, and people. It’s about asking bigger questions, anticipating needs, and building trust—every single day. Eight years later, I now focus on Learning & Development, I feel immense gratitude for the chance to now help create the very paths I once walked. To guide, support, and inspire our teams as they write their own stories of growth. The best part? At Starwood, my story isn’t unique. It’s proof of what’s possible when we live our purpose out loud. 🫶🏽 Fabiana E.

A clear morning in Copenhagen set the stage for a heartfelt welcome as media, tourism officials, neighbors, and friends gathered to celebrate the opening of our 1 Hotel Copenhagen. In the spirit of community, guests were invited to bring a piece of gently used clothing for our 1 Less Thing partner, JunkFood. By mid-morning, the donation box was brimming—a true reflection of Copenhagen’s generosity and collective spirit. The celebration began with words of welcome from our CEO, Raul Leal, before guests wandered through a farmer’s market curated with offerings from our favorite local partners. The community came together under open skies to mark a new beginning—one rooted in nature, neighborhood, and connection. #1Hotels #DoAllTheGoodYouCan #MissionDrivenHospitality

“What I love about working at 1 Hotels is that it’s really about the people. It’s an environment where team members are cared for just as much as our guests. That’s why I’ve been able to grow into so many roles here. It feels good to work for a company that puts its team members first.” - Johanna Laus Johanna’s journey at 1 Hotel South Beach shows what’s possible when passion, purpose, and opportunity come together. She joined the team in 2021 as Food & Beverage Manager at Habitat and, through dedication and thoughtful leadership, advanced into roles of increasing responsibility. This summer, Johanna was promoted to Director of Pool & Beach, a milestone in a career shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and care. Her story reminds us that when people are empowered to lead with heart, the possibilities, for themselves, their teams, and our guests, are endless. Our mission at Starwood Hotels is to inspire others while crafting unique, evolved luxury experiences.
