Global Transformation of Sheraton Hotels & Resorts Gains Momentum Throughout Greater China
These hotels join the
growing number of properties around the world displaying the brand's design
transformation, totaling more than 30 properties by the end of the year.
"Following the
transformation of four incredible hotels across Greater China, we're
excited to welcome these four additional hotels in the region entering a new
chapter showcasing the brand's new vision," said Amanda Nichols,
Global Brand Leader, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts. "As Sheraton continues
to inspire new journeys into the new year, we look forward to welcoming guests
to enjoy all the familiar comforts of the brand, but with fresh, contemporary
updates along with new, exciting guest-programming experiences."
The new approach
draws on the brand's roots as a community hub with places to connect and be
productive. The design balances timelessness with a fresh and modern feel,
creating an environment where guests feel comfortable and at ease whether
working, meeting, or relaxing. Built with its global, productivity-focused
guest in mind, Sheraton's new elevated food and beverage philosophy and
seamless technology integration are additional focal points of the brand's
transformation.
Sheraton Xi'an Chanba
With proximity to
many places of interest in Xi'an, Sheraton Xi'an Chanba offers 228
residential-style guest rooms and suites with serene, bright spaces and
captivating views over the city.
The soon-to-open new
hotel takes its design cues from the city's history and culture, especially
that of the Tang Dynasty. The lobby art installation made of metal, ceramics,
and resin glass were inspired by lamps lit in celebration of the local Lantern
Festival. A host of public spaces and amenities have been created, including
the brand's signature Community Table. The hotel offers elevated food and
beverage experiences with a bar and three restaurants. Part bar, part coffee
bar, part market, &More by Sheraton transitions guests seamlessly from day
to night with food & beverage options that are locally sourced, easy to
enjoy while working, and customizable to accommodate all tastes and time
schedules. Through collaboration with Laihui Coffee, it also creates unique
coffee drinks inspired by local ingredients, including chestnuts from Qinling.
Sheraton Club, an
exclusive space for Marriott Bonvoy Elite members and Club-level guests,
features a circular-shaped Oval Bar and is an ideal place for guests to enjoy a
cup of coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening over mesmerizing
skyline views.
Sheraton Xi'an South
Located at the heart
of Xi'an Software New City in Xi'an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone,
Sheraton Xi'an South offers proximity to many Fortune 500 enterprises and is
set to be the new hub for locals and travelers to connect and collaborate.
The hotel offers 321
modern guest rooms and suites that feature bright, well-lit spaces with warm,
residential appeal comprised of soft finishes and light wood tones accentuated
with black metal accents. With Xi'an Talent Park nearby, guests staying on the
north side of the hotel enjoy beautiful garden views from their room. All guest
rooms are equipped with new and modern amenities that foster productivity,
including height-adjustable working table, integrated power and charging, and
layered lighting.
The property offers
an elevated food and beverage experience with local, gourmet-market themed
Daily Social, Chinese poetry-inspired YUE, and the curated, intimate bar,
Unspoken. The brand's reimagined look is also incorporated in the lobby, which
is designed with a flow that is natural, intuitive, and uncomplicated.
Additional facilities include a Grand Ballroom, five meeting rooms, and the
Sheraton Fitness.
Sheraton Ningbo
Xiangshan Resort
Sitting on a 575-mile
coastline in Xiangshan, Sheraton Ningbo Xiangshan Resort lays claim to some of
the area's most beautiful settings. The property is the first resort in
the Asia Pacific region to bring Sheraton's design transformation to
life. The ingenious interior design incorporates elements that denote the
distinctive rock formations in the area and the local fishing heritage. In the
lobby, the design pays homage to Xiangshan's culture by utilizing black and
white colors to form a dramatic visual contrast, showcasing the aesthetics of
fishing nets and wood carvings that are unique to the area. The resort offers
270 spacious and modern guest rooms and suites, most of which boast views of
the sea or mountains through large floor-to-ceiling windows, with selected
guest rooms featuring a large outdoor balcony.
Sheraton Ningbo
Xiangshan Resort offers two elevated dining outlets – Daily Social and YUE –
and a sophisticated dessert house Sweet Box, providing guests with an eclectic
choice of flavors.
Sheraton Nanjing
Kingsley Hotel & Towers
Sheraton Nanjing
Kingsley Hotel & Towers commands a prime location in Nanjing's financial
and commercial center – the Xinjiekou business zone. The renovation was
well-thought to combine the hotel's over 20 years of history into a design that
matches the lifestyle of today's travelers, with elements that reinterpret
local cultures and arts, such as the staircase handrails and screens that
create a modern rendition of the local Jinling Folding Fans. Equipped with the
brand's signature Community Table and tech-enabled Studios, the expansive lobby
has been repositioned as an open, shared space, aiming to promote social
interaction and collaboration. It is also a reflection of Sheraton's commitment
to creating places where guests from around the world can come together. It
welcomes guests to 70 newly renovated guest rooms and suites as part of the
first phase of guest rooms refresh. Additional facilities include the all-day
dining restaurant Daily Social, YUE Chinese restaurant, Danny's Irish
Restaurant & Pub, the Sheraton Towers Lounge, and &More by Sheraton,
where guests can enjoy a cup of Julius Meinl, Austria's national
treasure coffee originated from 1862.
These four properties
join Sheraton Guangzhou Hotel, Sheraton Mianyang, Sheraton Zhaoqing Dinghu,
and Sheraton Chengdu Pidu as transformed Sheraton branded properties
in Greater China. Sheraton plans to continue its transformation journey in
the region with the brand expecting additional hotels to showcase the new
modernized look next year with the openings of Sheraton Beihai Resort
and Sheraton Lanzhou Anning.
