Sheraton Hotels and Resorts continues rolling out completely refreshed hotels in an ongoing $6 billion global enhancement of its brand. The Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel in Weehawken, N.J., is one of the first New York/New Jersey area hotels to complete the refurbishment. The $18 million revitalization of the contemporary riverfront property includes the introduction of the Link@Sheraton, the brand’s new lobby-based connectivity hub; a new restaurant overlooking the Hudson River; and 347 eco-friendly, tech-savvy guest rooms with keyless entry, “green” wallpaper and CFL-lit workspaces. A new lobby entrance showcases the hotel’s riverfront location and underscores its nautical theme, while a collection of antique nautical maps of the Hudson River celebrates the area’s maritime heritage. The hotel features 9,800 square feet of renovated meeting space, including several rooms with views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline, ample natural light and the full range of audiovisual equipment. It can accommodate groups of 10 to 150 in a variety of configurations.

The Sheraton Nashville Downtown Hotel began the final phase of its multimillion-dollar renovation this spring. As part of the new look (and Sheraton’s emphasis on going local), all artwork throughout the hotel carries a Nashville theme, featuring black and white photos of legendary performers at the Grand Ole Opry and interesting angles of guitars. “We’re excited to be at the final stage of these renovations,” says Ed Mroz, general manager of the Sheraton Nashville Downtown. “We’ll be able to give our guests an even more memorable experience, and with the ballroom makeover, we’ll continue to offer a highly sought after space for local events.” You can view the transformation as it happens by visiting gsandf.com/sheraton.
