The Westin Jersey City Newport celebrated the Heavenly Bed’s 10th anniversary at the hotel last month, at an event attended by guests, meeting planners, travel managers and staff. The celebration featured the raffling of a signature Heavenly Bed for one lucky winner. The prize went to Curtis Moses, an employee at Allied T Pro, and he was later presented with the prize and congratulated by Bob McIntosh, director of sales and marketing for Westin Jersey City Newport.
From Beijing to Boston, 166 Westin Hotels and Resorts are participating in a global Heavenly Bed celebration with special events, Heavenly promotions, and more. Westin turned the travel industry on its head and sparked a hotel bedding revolution with the 1999 launch of the Heavenly Bed: an icon that inspired countless imitators, ignited the hotel-bed wars, and jump-started the hotel retail phenomenon.
In the decade since, more than 75 million guests have tucked themselves into Heavenly Beds at Westin hotels around the world, including U.S. Presidents, Hollywood royalty, and professional athletes, and more than 30,000 beds and 100,000 pillows have been sold.
