Sheraton hotels
The lobby serves as a gathering place for guests to work, meet and linger together.
Sheraton brings a long American hotel tradition to full-service stays around the world, with substantial public spaces for meeting and gathering. The name came from an existing Boston hotel’s rooftop sign in the 1930s and grew into an international brand that now belongs to Marriott.

History
Ernest Henderson and Robert Moore built Sheraton by giving existing hotels a new hospitality chapter. Keeping a Boston hotel’s costly rooftop sign gave the growing company its name. Later conversions continued that early pattern, carrying a recognizable service identity into buildings with different local histories.
