Portland Sheraton at Sable Oaks has become the first property in the world to display the new Sheraton logo. It is the first new branding for the organisation in more than 40 years and comes as Marriott International continue transformation efforts at its most global brand.

The new design reflects the brand’s holistic vision for the future, making Sheraton the central gathering place of communities around the world.

Designed by boutique multi-disciplinary design practice, Topo Design Studio, the newly transformed resort now exhibits Maldivian architecture with a contemporary twist reflecting the five-star experience guaranteed at the property.

Marriott International has purchased the 1,000-room Sheraton Grand Phoenix hotel for $255 million. Marriott has plans for a significant renovation covering the downtown Phoenix hotel’s guest rooms and public space to transform the property into a cutting-edge model for the Sheraton brand.

The milestone further solidifies Marriott International’s portfolio across west Africa and seeks to revolutionise the hospitality landscape in the country through Sheraton’s distinct product offering coupled with its commitment to go above and beyond for its guests.

Qatar Airways has acquired the Sheraton Melbourne Hotel, further expanding the growing portfolio of its hospitality division, Dhiafatina Hotels.
