Sheraton opens in Pattaya

Starwood Hotels & Resorts has opened its newest resort, the 156-room Sheraton Pattaya Resort in Thailand. The new resort is located only an hour’s drive from the new Bangkok International Airport which is scheduled to open end 2006.

“Pattaya has changed a great deal, and is now beginning to attract a more sophisticated clientele, a trend which we expect to grow significantly with the opening of the new Bangkok International Airport” said General Manager David Cuddon.
