WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Dec. 17, 1999 - The Four Points Hotels
by Sheraton family grew to 115
full-service properties with the addition of Four Points Hotel Cleveland
South, Four Points Hotel Cincinnati Northeast and Four Points Hotel St.
Louis West. A just completed $13.3 million enhancement, upgrade and renovation
� by owner and management company Sabre Hospitality Management, Inc., an
affiliate of GF Management, Inc. � preceded the raising of the Four Points
Hotels standard over the three former Harley hotels.
Each of these new Four Points Hotels sit on 10 - 12 acres of landscaped
grounds�ideal for corporate picnics, social receptions and tented events�and
feature such recreational facilities as indoor and outdoor swimming pools,
tennis courts and shuffle board. The properties also offer all Four Points
Hotels brand standard facilities such as a fitness and exercise center,
full meeting, conference and catering facilities, and restaurants and room
service providing breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The opening of Four Points Hotel St. Louis West marks an additional
milestone in brand history: the first Four Points Hotel in the State of
Missouri (the 33rd U.S. State to offer Four Points hospitality). The Cincinnati
Northeast and Cleveland South properties bring the total number of Four
Points Hotels in Ohio to six. Four Points Hotels by Sheraton is the mid-scale
brand of Starwood Hotels Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT).
Since opening the first Four Points Hotel by Sheraton in Greensburg,
Pennsylvania little more than four years ago, the brand has expanded to
115 hotels and 21,187 rooms in ten countries around the world.
Sabre Hospitality Management, Inc., an affiliate of GF Management, Inc
operates 43 hotels and more than 4,600 guestrooms including the Four Points
Hotel Rochester New York. Yet another Sabre/GF hotel�the 251-room Four
Points Hotel Orlando Downtown�is scheduled to open in February 2000. With
6,000 employees, the Greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based company also
owns and operates convention centers, golf courses and catering facilities. |
