Azerbaijan for Sheraton

Starwood is the latest 5-star western hotel operator to arrive in the Azerbaijan capital of Baku (see last week’s AERBT – Kempinski).  Due to open in the autumn the new property adjoins the Heydar Aliyev International Airport.  The opening of the Sheraton Baku Airport Hotel marks the entry of Starwood into the country and is part of the company's strategic expansion plan to open more than 60 Sheraton hotels around the world in the next three years.

The hotel will have 207 guest rooms, including 14 suites, offering the only branded accommodation option in the vicinity of the airport.  The hotel will also feature extensive dining, conference and leisure facilities as well as signature Sheraton amenities including the luxurious all-white Sweet Sleeper beds, a Sheraton Club Lounge and the Link@Sheraton experience with Microsoft – a communications hub where guests can socialise and also go on-line.

Starwood currently operates 72 hotels in East Central Europe, including three hotels in Moscow and two in Georgia, where the company opened the Sheraton Batumi last year. www.sheraton.com
