That company appears to have owned a couple of hotels managed by Westin before Westin was bought out by Starwood.

From the 10K I found by plugging in the symbol you gave:

Westin Hotels Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) and its subsidiary limited partnerships, The Westin St. Francis Limited Partnership (the “St. Francis Partnership”) and The Westin Chicago Limited Partnership (the “Chicago Partnership” or the “Hotel Partnership”), each a Delaware limited partnership (collectively the “Hotel Partnerships”), were formed on April 25, 1986 for the purpose of acquiring two hotels, The Westin St. Francis in San Francisco, California (the “St. Francis”) and the Michigan Avenue (formerly The Westin Hotel, Chicago) in downtown Chicago, Illinois (collectively the “Hotels”).

The St. Francis and the Michigan Avenue have been managed as part of the Westin hotel chain since 1945 and 1964, respectively. As a result of the acquisition of Westin Hotel Company (“Westin”) by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (“Starwood”) in 1998, the management agreements for the St. Francis and the Michigan Avenue were assigned to St. Francis Hotel Corporation (“St. Francis Corp.”) and 909 North Michigan Avenue Corporation (“909 Corp.”), respectively.

Westin Realty Corp. (“Westin Realty”) is the sole general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”). 909 Corp. and St. Francis Corp. are the respective general partners of the subsidiary limited partnerships, the Chicago Partnership and the St. Francis Partnership, which directly own and operate (or in the case of the St. Francis Corp., owned and operated) each Hotel. Since January 2, 1998, the General Partner has been a subsidiary of Starwood.
