Element Hotels Plan Summer Solstice Surprise for Guests

STAMFORD, Conn., Jun 14, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) - Any devotee of Element Hotels, Starwood's trailblazing, eco-wise brand, will argue that you won't find a more light-drenched collection of hotels in the U.S. It is fitting then for Element Hotels to pay special heed to the Summer Solstice, the longest, most light-filled day of the year that heralds the start of summer.

Summer officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere on Wednesday, June 20 at 7:09 p.m. For guests at all Element hotels, stretching from Miami to Las Vegas, the celebration of Summer Solstice begins upon check-in when they will be surprised with a pair of complimentary, stylish Aviator sunglasses. The unisex glasses have distinctive, brightly-hued temples, sure to disarm their wearer, and guests are encouraged to share Instagram photos in their shades via Twitter, using hashtag #elementhotels.

The one-day promotion is designed to call special attention to a number of "light" facts that the Element brand has embraced since its inception in 2008:

• Natural light benefits our mood, health and well-being, and helps us produce Vitamin D for strong bones
• Our eyes and brain function best in natural light, improving our productivity and performance
• Element's architecture captures 90% of daylight, reducing our dependence on artificial lighting (and drain on electricity.)
