What hotel chain is Sheraton?

Sheraton Hotels & Resorts is part of Marriott International and offers mid- to upscale hotels in major cities and resort locations worldwide. It caters to business, leisure and family travel and offers a variety of meeting spaces, conference spaces and business facilities.



Sheraton is one of the most recognizable and historic brands within the Marriott International portfolio. Originally founded in 1937, Sheraton grew into a global powerhouse before being acquired by Starwood Hotels & Resorts in 1998. When Marriott International purchased Starwood in 2016, Sheraton became a cornerstone of the newly combined company, which is now the largest hotel chain in the world. Within Marriott’s massive stable of 30+ brands, Sheraton is classified as a "Premium" brand, sitting alongside Westin, Marriott Hotels, and Renaissance. It is designed to be a "classic" full-service upscale option that caters to both business and leisure travelers. Since the acquisition, Marriott has been undergoing a multi-year "Sheraton Transformation" project to modernize the brand's aesthetic, moving away from its older, more traditional look toward a "World’s Gathering Place" concept. This includes redesigned lobbies with "community tables," integrated technology for remote work, and updated Sheraton Clubs. Today, with over 450 hotels in more than 70 countries, Sheraton remains a key driver for Marriott's global reach, particularly in major city centers and airport hubs where reliable, high-end service is expected.
