DALLAS, June 6, 2011 -- Prism Hotels & Resorts has been selected to manage the Sheraton Charleston Airport Hotel, located just outside the Charleston International Airport near the I-26/I-526 crossroads. The eight-story, 289-room hotel is the fourth Starwood property to join Prism's portfolio in the past 18 months.

"We're proud to take over management of this hotel, as well as to bring another Starwood property into Prism's portfolio – the fourth in the last year and a half – further solidifying our partnership with their well-known, highly-regarded brand," said Steve Van, chief executive officer of Prism Hotels & Resorts. "With its rich history, beautiful gardens and architecture, and delicious Lowcountry cuisine, Charleston is one of America's most beloved cities. We're happy to be here."

The Sheraton Charleston Airport Hotel features a first-class meeting and banquet facility totaling more 10,000 square feet of flexible space and the area's only indoor-outdoor pool. It is also one of the only Charleston-area hotels to offer free shuttle service to both the airport and to Charleston's popular downtown historic district.

Charleston has been recognized by Conde Nast Traveler as a "Top 10" domestic destination for nine consecutive years.
