Sheraton to Adelaide

Hot on the heels of announcing its Aloft brand will debut in South Australia, Starwood are working on adding a Sheraton to the scene.

Under an agreement with Makris Group, Starwood Hotels & Resorts have entered into a non-binding letter of intent to open a 160-room five star Sheraton hotel to open by 2019 in North Adelaide.

Sheraton Hotel perspective

The Makris Group’s $200 million project at 88 O’Connell will incorporate eight buildings including the Sheraton hotel, a first for the brand in South Australia, and will commence construction in late 2016.

Sheraton currently operates in Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Port Douglas.

“While there was very strong interest from a number of leading hotel operators, we are very confident that the globally-renowned Sheraton brand and Starwood hotel management best suit the quality outcome that we are seeking for North Adelaide and South Australia,” Makris Group executive chairman Con Makris said.
