"We are thrilled to be adding this outstanding new property to our Sheraton portfolio," said Joe Gelchion, senior vice president, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.  "Along with its  classic style and finishes, this hotel will feature the true warmth and comfort that is signature in all Sheratons."

"The renovation and conversion of this strategically located North Orlando property enables us to maintain our commitment to superior accommodations," said Peter Marino, senior vice president, Paramount Hotel Group.  "We're delighted that this hotel has joined the Sheraton family as one of its primary properties and look forward to providing guests with the company's signature services and amenities." 

The Sheraton in Maitland Center will incorporate the original  structure that was completely re-designed to establish itself as a new building featuring interiors by the Tischler Haus Design Group.  The exterior will have a contemporary façade and roof-top obelisk that will stand out on the horizon. Guests will enjoy an all-new look, from the custom-design wall and floor materials to the upscale restaurant, richly appointed guestrooms and state-of-the-art spa. 

Each of the newly-designed, spacious guestrooms and suites will feature dark mahogany and walnut furnishings; oversized desks, and large, flat-panel LCD televisions.  Sheraton Sweet Sleepersm  Beds will grace each guest room with its signature luxurious nine-layer custom designed bed that features an 115 inch thick, high coil count plush-top mattress, down and allergy sensitive pillows and crisp sheets. 

The new Sheraton will have 15,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, accommodating groups of up to 900 people.  A study in muted elegance, the 7,500-square-foot Grande Ballroom will welcome guests with its open space and soaring, 15-foot ceilings.  A giant atrium will house a fountain flanked by a high-end restaurant and bar.  Other amenities will include state-of-the-art business center; Concierge Floor with private lounge; fitness center with the latest equipment; 2,500-square-foot, full-service spa; game room, and outdoor pool with fountains, Jacuzzi, a water curtain and more.
