Sheraton

Sheraton is a brand of hotels and resorts operated by Marriott International. It began as the Sheraton Hotels and Inns chain, founded in 1937 by Ernest Henderson and Robert Moore in Springfield, Massachusetts, and it grew into a global network of full-service properties. The company became part of ITT Corporation's hospitality group in the mid-20th century. In 1998, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide acquired ITT Sheraton, expanding its portfolio of upscale hotels. In 2016, Marriott International completed its acquisition of Starwood, merging Sheraton into Marriott’s brand family and creating one of the world’s largest hotel companies. Since then, Sheraton operates as an upscale, full-service brand within Marriott’s portfolio, with properties in urban centers, resort destinations, and airport corridors across the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

As a global brand, Sheraton properties typically offer guest rooms and meeting spaces suited for business and leisure travelers, with amenities such as on-site dining, fitness facilities, and conference facilities. The brand emphasizes consistency of service and modern design while adapting to local markets. Sheraton remains one of Marriott’s international brands, continuing to expand through management and franchise arrangements worldwide.
