Element Hotels

Element Hotels, a longer-stay brand under Marriott International, approaches furniture design with a philosophy rooted in sustainability, wellness, and residential comfort. Since its launch in 2006 as the first major hotel brand to mandate LEED certification, Element has integrated eco-conscious principles into every aspect of its FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment).

Guest rooms feature a fluid design of modular furniture that allows guests to customize their space for work or relaxation. Key elements include large multi-purpose desks with open shelving, swiveling flat-screen televisions, custom-designed closets, and the signature Westin Heavenly® Bed. Fully equipped kitchens with full-size refrigerators, dishwashers, and stovetops further support extended stays. Materials are selected with environmental responsibility in mind—recycled foam in sofas, carpets made from recycled content, low-VOC paints, and furniture crafted from sustainable sources.

Public spaces embrace a "living room" philosophy, featuring modular soft seating and family-style tables that foster community and connection. Natural finishes like wood and stone, abundant plant life, and multi-storied window walls maximize natural light and reinforce the brand's biophilic design approach. Ultimately, Element's furniture is not merely decorative but purposeful—every piece is chosen to create a seamless, sustainable, and nurturing environment where guests can truly feel "in their element".
