The Sheraton Hotel Tahiti, formerly the Outrigger Hotel Tahiti, is set on a tranquil lagoon with panoramic views of Papeete Harbor and the island of Moorea. Tahitian style is reflected throughout the resort. Each guestroom is richly appointed with exotic woods from around the world and has a balcony, air conditioning, ceiling fan, refrigerator, in-room safe and coffee service.

�Tahiti is an ideal destination for the incentive, leisure and honeymoon markets, as well as for the small meetings and corporate transient visitor,� says John Greenleaf, vice president of Sheraton brand management. 

Next to join Starwood will be the exotic, 108-unit Sheraton Moorea Lagoon Resort on Moorea, which will open this fall, and a luxury resort in Bora Bora, scheduled for construction later this year. More than half of the Moorea resort�s private bungalows are �on stilts,� offering French Polynesia�s first air-conditioned, over-water accommodations, as well as dramatic views of Opunohu Bay and Cooks Bay.

An exclusive �Club� level offers a business center, library and hospitality lounge, where continental breakfast and evening hors d�oeuvres are served daily. Meeting and banquet facilities can accommodate up to 500, and an expansive courtyard can cater to groups of up to 1,000. Guests also can take advantage of a swimming pool, water sports program, �over-water� restaurant and two cocktail lounges. A health and fitness center is under development.  

The Sheraton Hotel Tahiti, owned by the Societe des Hotels Tahitiens S.A., is conveniently located just minutes from Faa�a International Airport and historic downtown Papeete, the cruise ship harbor and the inter-island ferry to Moorea.  Sheraton, the largest brand of Starwood Hotels Resorts Worldwide, Inc., has more than 375 hotels in 67 countries.
