Starwood has expanded its portfolio of hotels in India with the opening of the Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel.

Owned by Samhi Hotels (Ahmedabad), the Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel is the 44th Starwood hotel in India, the third Starwood hotel in the south-central Indian city, and the third Sheraton in India.

Sheraton Hyderabad is located in the heart of the city’s financial district and adjacent to the area’s key convention centers, such as HITEX Exhibition Centre and the Hyderabad International Convention Centre. Surrounded by multinational corporations, the hotel is a 30-minute drive from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD).

Featuring 272 rooms, the property also features a spa for guests to unwind, a pool and Sheraton Fitness center. Feast, the hotel’s signature all-day dining venue, offers an interactive dining experience with live cooking stations and show kitchens.

In the coming months the hotel will open Azia, a Pan Asian speciality restaurant, and Chimes, a rooftop bar offering captivating panoramic views.

The hotel also has more than 950 square metres of ballroom, boardroom, and meeting room space.

“The Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel is a highly anticipated addition to the Sheraton brand’s global portfolio and marks an increased demand for hotels in emerging markets within India’s bustling metropolitan cities,” said Dilip Puri Managing Director India and Regional Vice President South Asia, Starwood Hotels and Resorts India Private Limited. “It is also yet another example of our conversion friendly strategy that highlights our ability to convert hotels successfully within a short period of time and have them join our system as we continue to deliver value to our partners and create compelling experiences for our guests.”

Hyderabad is home to many historic and tourist sites, such as the ancient mosque Charminar, the Salar Jung Museum, the Nizam's Museum, the Falaknuma Palace, and the famous retail corridor encompassing the Pearl Market, Laad Bazaar and Madina Circle. Additional places of interest include the picturesque Public Gardens, which encloses many major landmarks, and the Birla Planetarium.
