ANNOUNCEMENTS :: SHERATON TO FLY ITS FLAG OVER THE SHERATON ARLINGTON HOTEL

07/02/07

Sheraton To Fly Its Flag Over The Sheraton Arlington Hotel

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. today announces the opening of the Sheraton Arlington Hotel, a 310 room hotel located in the heart of Arlington, Texas, a popular convention and vacation destination offering multiple entertainment and sports venues. The Sheraton Arlington Hotel will offer 310 comfortable guestrooms, as well as flexible meeting space, in a convenient location to business development and recreational attractions. The property, managed by Surrey Hotel Management LLC, is slated to undergo a comprehensive renovation late this year.

Just nine miles south of the Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport, the Sheraton Arlington Hotel brings the warmth and comfort of the Sheraton brand to a city that bustles with energy and excitement. The group business will love the close proximity to the adjacent Arlington Convention Center. Sports fans will delight in the hotel’s convenient location to the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, (home of the Texas Rangers), and the future home of the Dallas Cowboys, both of which are only steps away from the hotel’s doors. The hotel is ideally positioned in the center of the Arlington Fun Central ®entertainment district, which houses a wide variety of restaurants and upscale shopping, as well as two amusement parks – Six Flags over Texas® and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor® Water Park.

Close to the offices of General Motors, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Pepsi-Cola, the Sheraton Arlington Hotel is also just a short drive from both Dallas and Fort Worth, and just six miles from Lone Star Park (home of the Breeder’s Cup), and Nokia Theatre, which provides a wide selection of top-notch concerts and theatrical productions.

“Sheraton is thrilled to be expanding into a city as dynamic as Arlington, Texas, where guests will find no shortage of entertainment options bound to appeal to both families and business travelers,” said Hoyt Harper, senior vice president, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts. “Boasting a beautifully landscaped property, extraordinary meeting facilities and the best pool in the area, the Sheraton Arlington Hotel will give guests a deep sense of belonging enhanced by Sheraton’s comforting amenities and services.”

Perfect for meetings of all sizes, the hotel offers 21,000 square feet of state-of-the-art, flexible meeting space including two ballrooms and a unique 4,300 square foot venue called “Plaza on the Hill,” featuring picturesque views of the spacious pool, fountains, koi pond and lush landscaping. Additional amenities include a gym, and weekend showings of Dive-In Movies by the pool during the summer.
