Summary

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, LLC is a Maryland-based hospitality company and an intermittent H-1B sponsor. In FY2023, the company filed 2 H-1B petitions with a 50% certification rate. From 2010 to 2023, Starwood submitted 225 total H-1B filings with a 1.78% overall certification rate and no denials or withdrawals.

The company's H-1B sponsorship peaked in 2012 and 2016, with 46 and 44 filings respectively. Its top hiring roles reflect both hospitality operations and technology talent: Lodging Managers lead (32 filings), followed by Software Developers (26 filings), Sales Managers (14), Data Scientists (13), and Financial Managers (11). This mix shows Starwood's blend of core hotel operations and growing tech investment.

Sponsorship activity has declined significantly since 2016, dropping to single-digit or low double-digit filings in recent years. The extremely low certification percentage relative to total filings suggests most petitions were withdrawn before final adjudication, a pattern consistent with companies using LCA filings for workforce planning or testing purposes rather than committed sponsorship.
