New York hotel finishes first phase of renovations

Sheraton hotel chain undertakes $150 million redesign project.

The Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers, one of New York City’s largest hotels, has completed phase one of its $150 million renovation.

During the first phase of the renovation, Sheraton’s flagship property completely renovated and expanded the size of 1,080 guest rooms and grand suites, added a state-of-the-art technology suite, and redesigned its Sheraton Club Lounge.

“As one of New York’s prominent landmarks, it is essential for us to provide the best accommodations and experience possible for both business and leisure travelers,” said Kai Fischer, director of sales and marketing.

The hotel’s multi-million dollar renovation project is part of Sheraton Hotels & Resorts ongoing commitment to enhance its global portfolio and is one of several landmark Sheraton hotels that will launch a large-scale renovation project this year.

The second phase, which is expected to last from December 2011 to April 2012, includes updates to remaining guest rooms, such as power outlets at the base of all decorative lighting, state of the art four-pipe HVAC system to give guests better control of the thermostat, Internet wiring and wi-fi, and radio frequency identification locks.
