Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) has completed an internal management reorganization related to its former hotel segment. Whereas its hotel business had previously been included in a single reportable segment, as a result of this reorganization, these results are now segregated into three separate hotel segments: (i) the Americas, (ii) Europe, Africa and the Middle East (“EAME”) and (iii) Asia Pacific. The vacation ownership and residential business remains a separate segment.

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 21, 2012 (the “2011 Form 10-K”), to reflect the change in its reportable segments.

Exhibit 99.1 includes selected sections from the 2011 Form 10-K, which have been revised to reflect the change in the reportable segments.

The following items in the 2011 Form 10-K have been updated from their previous presentation:

• Item 1. Business; and

• Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (but only the report of the independent registered public accounting firm and the following Notes to the consolidated financial statements have been updated from their previous presentation: Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies; Note 4. Significant Acquisitions; Note 5. Asset Dispositions and Impairments; Note 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets; Note 13. Restructuring, Goodwill Impairment and Other Special Charges (Credits), Net; and Note 26. Business Segment Information).

The changes noted above, as reflected in the information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, affect only the manner in which certain financial information was previously reported and do not restate or revise the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for any period. All other information in the 2011 Form 10-K remains unchanged and has not otherwise been updated for events or developments that occurred subsequent to the original filing of such reports.
