Starwood to Open Sheraton Nha Trang in May 2009

Sheraton Hotels and Resorts has targeted May 2009 as the debut for its hotly anticipated Nha Trang property. The grand opening of the 281-room, 30-story Sheraton Nha Trang Hotel & Spa in Vietnam is scheduled for June.

Sheraton’s first beach resort in Vietnam complements its existing properties in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the 299-room Sheraton Hanoi Hotel and the 483-room Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers.

The Nha Trang hotel’s eight categories of accommodation, all of which offer ocean views, range from deluxe rooms to 62 square-meter executive suites and one 180-square-meter presidential suite. Its food-and-beverage outlets include a 180-seat international buffet, an upmarket, 102-seat dim sum and noodle restaurant, a deli and a wine bar.

For business and leisure travelers alike, the hotel’s full-service spa offers nine treatment rooms, as well as separate locker rooms for men and women, each with steam, sauna and whirlpool. The 21-meter lap pool will be complemented by a children’s pool. And a state-of-the-art health club is shaping up as Nha Trang’s most ambitious fitness center by far.

Given the proximity to Ho Chi Minh City by air (55 minutes), the hotel anticipates robust business traffic. The Sheraton’s nine meetings rooms - including a ballroom and an equally large function room - open up to 1,800 square meters. The Executive Club Lounge will offer ocean views.

“Nha Trang is exactly the place,” said Scott Hodgetts, general manager of the Sheraton Nha Trang. “The town won a worldwide audience in July when Miss Universe was crowned here. Prestigious travel magazines have hailed this bay as one of the world’s most beautiful. The allure of this town and our location on the edge of this bay promise an experience that should prove to be both singular and resonant.”
