Owned by Golden Age Development Group, the hotel marks the return of the iconic Sheraton brand to Melbourne and is the first of five Sheraton hotels to open in the Pacific region in 2014.
“Sheraton Melbourne Hotel is a great addition to Starwood’s outstanding portfolio of hotels in the Pacific,” said Sean Hunt, Regional Vice President, Pacific, Starwood Hotels & Resorts. “As Sheraton embarks on another year of record-breaking growth, the opening of the Sheraton Melbourne Hotel will further reinforce the Sheraton as the most global hotel brand, as well as pave ways for the growth of other Starwood hotel brands in the Pacific.”
