HEI Hotels & Resorts is a hospitality owner and operator based in Norwalk, Connecticut.[1] Founded by brothers Gary and Steve Mendell, HEI owns and manages over 50 full service, upper-upscale and luxury hotels and resorts throughout the United States under brand names as Marriott, Hilton, Embassy Suites, Westin, Le Méridien and Sheraton.[2][3][4]

Over the past few years, HEI has come under fire from student activists for its alleged labor practices as part of a union dispute. The union campaign has since ended and a number of HEI hotels are staffed by organized labor.

HEI Hotels & Resorts is very involved in environmental stewardship, investing in new technologies to cut energy use at its properties. In 2011, President Obama selected HEI to participate in "Better Building Challenge",[5] and the company is a repeat winner of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Partner of the Year.[6]
