LOS CABOS, Mexico, Feb. 7, 2000 - A sixth hotel in Mexico has been added to the portfolio of Sheraton Hotels Resorts with the signing of a management contract with Hotel Hacienda del Mar, announced today.

�I am very proud to have a new Sheraton hotel in Los Cabos, one of the most important tourist destinations in Mexico,� said Osvaldo Librizzi, president of the Latin America division of Starwood Hotels Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Sheraton�s parent company. �We have become associated with a hotel that not only has a privileged location, with a spectacular view of the Sea of Cortes, but also offers services at the level of the best hotels in the world.�

Each of the hotel�s 171 luxury suites and rooms has a spacious private terrace, providing guests with an atmosphere of comfort and tranquillity. The hotel also has a 1,350-foot beach.  �The hotel�s design recreates a Mexican hacienda, with its main building surrounded by villas connected to the diverse patios, fountains, cafes and shops in the hotel,� explained Denis Ebrill, senior vice president of the Latin America division and director of operations for Mexico and Central America for Starwood. �We have great expectations for the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar Resort Spa, and in the future we plan to enlarge the facilities for conventions, as well as increase the number of rooms,� added Ebrill.
