                        Prospectus dated December 2, 1999
                                       of
                    Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.
                                       and
                            Starwood Hotels & Resorts

                           Savings and Retirement Plan

                  This prospectus  supplement updates the information  contained
in the prospectus  described  above to reflect  certain  changes in the Starwood
Hotels & Resorts  Worldwide,  Inc.  Savings and Retirement  Plan (the "Plan") as
adopted by the  companies  that employ  people who work at hotels that  Starwood
manages or operates. We use terms in this prospectus supplement that are defined
in the prospectus in the same way those terms are defined in the prospectus.

                  Eligibility

                  If you are an eligible employee,  you now automatically become
a Plan member no later than the second "entry date" after you have been credited
with  three  months of  "service,"  unless  you  choose a later  date  following
procedures  established by your Plan  Committee.  "Entry dates" in your Plan are
the first day of each calendar month.  For purposes of Plan  eligibility,  three
months of service means either the three months of employment  commencing on the
date you first perform an hour of service for your  employer  (your "Hire Date")
or  any  other  period  of  three  consecutive   months  during  which  you  are
continuously  employed  by your  employer  or you are  otherwise  credited  with
"service."  You will be credited with  "service" for all periods you are paid by
Starwood,  your employer or another Adopting Employer (or an affiliate of one of
these companies), plus certain periods for which you are compensated even though
you have not worked, such as paid holidays, paid vacation, paid sick leave, paid
time off, etc.

                  Investment   Opportunities  -  Investing  Your  Contributions,
Employer Match Contributions and Prior Plan Account Balances

                  As of  October  1,  2000,  your  permitted  investment  in the
Starwood Company Stock Fund will no longer be limited to 25% of your future Plan
contributions  and  employer  match  contributions.  Instead,  you may choose to
invest any portion (as long as the portion is 1%, 2%, 3% or some other  multiple
of 1%) of your future Plan  contributions  and employer match  contributions  in
Starwood  Shares  and you may elect to  transfer  funds  from one or more  other
investment  funds under your Plan  (including  funds in which you invested  your
account  balances under the Prior Plans) to the Starwood  Company Stock Fund. Of
course,  there is no requirement that you invest any of your Plan  contributions
or employer  match  contributions  in the Starwood  Company Stock Fund,  and you
should read the prospectus and our reports and other  information filed with the
SEC before you decide to do so.

                  Investment Funds

                  The value of the portion of your Plan accounts  invested in an
investment fund or funds other than the Starwood  Company Stock Fund will be net
of any  investment  manager  fees  that  may be  charged  with  respect  to that
particular  fund. The prospectus for each mutual or collective  investment  fund
describes the fees and expenses associated with investing in that fund. You will
not be charged any fees or expenses with respect to  investments in the Starwood
Company Stock Fund.

                  Purchases  of  Shares  will   normally  be  made  as  soon  as
practicable  after the receipt by the Plan Trustee of contributions  that are to
be invested in the  Starwood  Company  Stock Fund.  Purchases or
<PAGE>   2
sales of Shares also will  normally  be made as soon as  practicable  after the
receipt of an election by you to transfer amount to or from the Starwood Company
Stock  Fund.  Each such  purchase  or sale will be made at the  market  price of
Shares on the New York Stock Exchange at the time of that purchase or sale.

(1) As adjusted for the  three-for-two  stock split in January 1997. In February
1998, the Company  acquired ITT  Corporation  ("ITT") in a transaction  that was
treated as a reverse purchase for accounting  purposes. Share prices and returns
for periods prior to this time represent the prices and returns of the Company's
paired common shares.

(2) Return for each calendar  year is  calculated by taking the dollar  increase
(or decrease) in share price between the dates in question, adding all dividends
paid in that year, and dividing the result by starting share price.
