Starwood Hotels and Resorts has expanded its Sheraton brand in China with the opening of the Sheraton Chuzhou Hotel in Anhui Province.

Just 90 minutes from Nanjing Lukou International Airport and a short stroll from Chuzhou’s Central Business District, the new hotel features 348 rooms and suites and a wide range of on-property facilities, including a Sheraton Fitness Centre, an indoor heated pool, and a luxury spa.

“The opening of the first Sheraton hotel in Chuzhou underscores Starwood’s continued commitment to aggressively expanding its footprint in the region and builds on the Sheraton brand’s long legacy as a first-mover in markets across China and Asia Pacific,” says Vincent Ong, senior brand director, Asia Pacific brand management, Starwood Hotels & Resorts. “At Sheraton Chuzhou Hotel, guests will enjoy a comfortable and stylish atmosphere, as well as all of the brand’s signature amenities and services in a convenient location.”

Two distinctive dining venues at the hotel provide a good range of culinary options, from international cuisine at the all-day dining FEAST, to Cantonese favourites at specialty Chinese restaurant YUE. Catering to meetings, conferences, and special events, Sheraton Chuzhou Hotel also offers nearly 1,579sqm conference space, including a deluxe grand ballroom that can accommodate up to 1,200 people. www.starwoodhotels.com
