Sheraton Grand Hangzhou Binjiang Hotel opened its doors last month. It is the first new-build Sheraton Grand property in the world. The relatively new Sheraton Grand brand recognizes properties for their popular locations, unique designs and superiority in guest service. “With all eyes on Hangzhou this year as the host of the 2016 G20 summit, China continues to be an extremely important growth market for Sheraton. Sheraton Grand Hangzhou Binjiang Hotel is a true representation of our Sheraton Grand tier and a valued asset to the portfolio,” said Vincent Ong, senior brand director, Asia Pacific brand management, Starwood Hotels & Resorts. The property features 301 guestrooms and suites within walking distance from West Lake and Xiang Lake. Each room offers a premium Sheraton sleep experience, rain shower and premium bath amenities. Dining options include Yue Chinese restaurant for contemporary regional cuisine; FEAST, the Sheraton signature open-kitchen restaurant; Lobby Lounge for tea, cocktails, wine, beer and small plates; and the Sheraton Club Lounge for complimentary breakfast, all-day refreshments and unbeatable views. Meeting space includes 11 function rooms, and a 740-square-metre ballroom for up to 500 guests. “With a rise in corporate and leisure travel, we are strategically positioned in the core of Binjiang district, offering vast views of the picturesque Qiangtang River. We are looking forward to creating memorable experiences and effortless travel as the hotel powers through the Hangzhou hospitality industry scene,” said John Sheng, general manager, Sheraton Grand Hangzhou Binjiang Hotel.
