Starwood debuted its iconic Sheraton Hotels & Resorts in the Middle East in 1966 and since that time the brand has grown to 16 hotels located in key business and leisure travel destinations throughout the Middle East.  Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. is strengthening its long established position in the Middle East as one of the leading luxury hotel operators in the region with a portfolio of nearly 50 existing hotels and a pipeline of 25 new hotel/resorts planned through 2015.  Luxury and upper-scale timeshare owners and renters of Starwood brands will have all of the Starwood branded hotel-resorts available, and as a result, the Middle East will become the second region, after North America, to operate all nine of Starwood’s world-class brands – St. Regis, The Luxury Collection, W, Westin, Le Méridien, Sheraton, Four Points by Sheraton, and the recently launched Aloft and Element – further reinforcing the company’s commitment to the region.  Benefiting from Sheraton’s strong brand awareness, its sister brand, Four Points by Sheraton has six hotels and another five poised to open by end 2013.
