Starwood Hotels & Resorts has opened its first ever Sheraton hotel in southwest China’s Yunnan province.
The new Sheraton Xishuangbanna features 326 rooms and suites plus three restaurants, a bar, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a hot spring pool, spa and fitness centre. For the corporate marker there are also 10 meeting rooms offering almost 2,500m² of function space.
The official launch of the new hotel coincides with Sheraton’s 30th anniversary in China. The Great Wall Sheraton Hotel Beijing was established in 1985, and since then the brand has grown to 67 locations across the country, with more than 40 in the pipeline.
This year, Sheraton will also open its third hotel in Beijing, its fifth in Shanghai, as well as its first properties in five markets: Bengbu, Chuzhou, Zhanjiang, Zhuhai and Harbin.
“The Sheraton brand has become an icon in China, and by leveraging on our first-mover advantage, we have now grown to become the most dominant international upper-upscale hotel brand in China,” said Qian Jin, president of Starwood Greater China.
“We will continue to work closely to develop even more exciting new products to meet the demands of one of the world’s fastest growing markets.”
The new Sheraton Xishuangbanna also joins a collection of 16 Sheraton resorts in China.
