CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

Transaction Valuation:	Amount of Filing Fee:

**  Previously paid. The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Advisory #11 for Fiscal Year 2003 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2003, equals 0.008090% of the transaction valuation.

SCHEDULE TO

      This Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relates to an offer by WHLP Acquisition LLC (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Starwood” and together with the Purchaser, the “Filing Persons”) for all of the outstanding units of limited partnership interest (the “Units”) of Westin Hotels Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), at a cash price of $625 per Unit, without interest, reduced by the amount of distributions per Unit, if any, declared or paid by the Partnership from October 1, 2003 until the date on which Purchaser purchases the Units tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation Statement, dated November 4, 2003, as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time (the “Offer to Purchase”), upon the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Agreement of Assignment and Transfer, as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time (the “Agreement of Assignment and Transfer,” which, together with the Offer to Purchase, constitutes the “Offer”). Because the Offer to Purchase is also serving as a solicitation statement relating to a consent solicitation by the Filing Persons, it has also been filed as part of the Definitive Proxy Statement filed on Schedule 14A by the Filing Persons. Because the tender offer is also a Rule 13e-3 transaction, this Schedule TO is also being filed on the date hereof in compliance with that rule.
