Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide have expanded its Turkey hotel portfolio to nine with the opening of the Sheraton Bursa Hotel and Aloft Bursa Hotel.
Owned by Faik Celik Holding, the two hotels are the group’s first hotels in the Turkish city and add more than 300 rooms to the Turkish industrial centre. The opening of the Sheraton Bursa Hotel keeps the brand on track to celebrate its planned 500th hotel by 2015, while the Aloft Bursa Hotel adds to the growth of Starwood’s mid-market brand as it poised to grow by 30% in 2013 with its 75th hotel to open later this year.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts EAME president Michael Wale said: "We are delighted to be working with Faik Celik Holdings, the owners of the Sheraton and Aloft Bursa, our first Starwood hotels in this important city in Turkey. Bursa is an emerging metropolitan centre of industry, culture, sport and leisure and we believe this combination of our differentiated lifestyle brands with a new city destination will make a compelling offer to global travellers."
