One of Marriott s biggest business-travel brands set out on a roughly $1 billion refresh more than two years ago, and the first of the new-look hotels are now opening their doors to guests.
Properties in Denver, Dubai, Phoenix, and Tel Aviv are among the hotels with the latest in guest room design, lobby amenities, and contemporary coffee bars. Sheraton is a brand focused on bringing the community together, says Amanda Nichols, senior director and global brand leader of Sheraton Hotels. Although the way we gather right now may have changed, we believe the need to gather will always be there.
The global overhaul will hit more than 40 hotels by the end of next year, Sheraton says, which represents about 10 percent of the brand s 446-property portfolio that spans 74 countries. If all goes to plan, Nichols says, the work would represent close to $1 billion in investment from our owners.
