The property has been an AAA Four Diamond Award recipient since 2009. It is managed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.

SBE will remain onboard as the flagship property’s brand operator. The hotel’s ownership group included SBE, the Nazarian family and subsidiaries of SLS Hotels. Sunrider International is a family owned health and beauty company.
