Is the Swan hotel a Westin?

Walt Disney World Swan, A Westin Hotel.



Yes, the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel is officially a Westin property, operated by Marriott International. Although it is located on Disney property and offers many "Disney" perks—such as early theme park entry and extended evening hours—it is not owned by the Walt Disney Company. Its sister hotel, the Dolphin, is a Sheraton property, and the newer Swan Reserve is part of the Autograph Collection. This unique arrangement means that while you are staying "at Disney," you can earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points for your stay. The Swan features signature Westin amenities, including the "Heavenly Bed" and "Heavenly Bath" products, providing a more traditional luxury hotel feel compared to the heavily themed Disney-owned resorts. It remains a top choice for convention-goers and Marriott loyalists who want a premium location within walking distance of EPCOT and Hollywood Studios.
