Starwood Signs Sheraton in Sharjah

Starwood has signed an agreement with the Deputy Ruler of the Emirate of Sharjah, H.H. Sheikh Abdullah Bin Salem Al Qassimi, to manage its first hotel there.

The new Sheraton Sharjah will open beginning of 2013, marking the debut of Starwood in the Emirate.

Located on Al Muntazah Beach in the north of the emirate, Sheraton Sharjah will offer 343 ocean front rooms including 48 suites.

The hotel will feature an all-day dining restaurant, a seafood restaurant, a Persian speciality restaurant, and a pool/beach grill on a private beach.

The hotel's business facilities include a suite of six meeting rooms, and two ballrooms, one of which at 850 square metres will be one of the largest hotel ballrooms in the Emirate. The hotel will also feature Link@Sheraton.

 Just 10 kilometres from Sharjah International Airport and 15 kilometres from Dubai International Airport, the resort will play a key role in increasing business travel in the emirate in addition to attracting regional and international tourists tempted by the beachfront location, spacious rooms with Sheraton's renowned Sweet Sleeper Bed and a 950-sqm spa and the brand's signature fitness offering - Sheraton Fitness by Core Performance.

Already a major travel destination for Middle Eastern and European families, Sharjah was one of the first Emirate in the U.A.E. to focus on international tourism, developing as a beach destination some 40 years ago. While it has since expanded as an industrial and shipping hub, the emirate also boasts numerous museums and cultural centres in an ongoing celebration of Arab culture.

Sheraton Sharjah Hotel & Resort is Starwood's sixth Sheraton hotel in the United Arab Emirates.
