Starwood Hotels & Resorts has introduced Sheraton Grand, a new premier tier that recognises exceptional Sheraton hotels and resorts in enticing destinations, with distinguished designs, and excellence in service and guest experiences. Starwood has revealed the first ten Sheraton Grand properties, which span from Bangalore to Beijing, Dubai to Edinburgh, Miyazaki to Seoul, Taipei to Bangkok, and Tokyo to Rio de Janeiro. By the end of the year, Starwood expects to have 50 newly-designated Sheraton Grand hotels around the world with plans for 100 by early 2017.
The Sheraton Grand designation signifies an exemplary hotel offering for both guests and local communities, with hallmarks including:
• Dynamic guestrooms and public spaces exhibiting sophisticated design and elevated finishes
• Resorts, convention properties, and urban hotels that offer unrivalled standards of service and outperform guest satisfaction benchmarks
• Desirable and sought-after locations ranging from primary city settings to spectacular beachfronts
• Impressive hotel amenities, including top-rated restaurant concepts and renowned chefs, superior gyms, unique Sheraton Club lounges, and an array of idyllic spa options
• Inspiring and state-of-the-art function space for events, meetings, and conferences
As Sheraton Grand formally launches worldwide, the tier will also encompass a number of existing properties that historically list Grand or Grande in their title and also demonstrate the best of the brand.
