Starwood Vacation Ownership (SVO) is a legacy name that remains important on older timeshare contracts. The vacation ownership business was later renamed Vistana Signature Experiences.
Today the relevant vacation ownership brands sit within Marriott Vacations Worldwide, including Sheraton Vacation Club and Westin Vacation Club.
From Starwood to Vistana and Marriott Vacations Worldwide
Starwood owners may have paperwork that spans several corporate eras. The original Starwood purchase, later Vistana communications and current Sheraton or Westin branding can all relate to the same ownership history.
