Starwood Hotels & Resorts is making its debut in Myanmar with the Sheraton Yangon Hotel, a 375-bedroom property that will include a Shine Spa along with three dining venues, a swimming pool, and a fitness centre.

Scheduled to open in 2017, the Sheraton Yangon Hotel follows the announcements of several pipeline hotels for Starwood in the region, including Sheraton Danang Resort, Four Points by Sheraton Danang in Vietnam, The Westin Manila Sonata Place in the Philippines, and Four Points by Sheraton Bali, Kuta in Indonesia.

“Touted as Asia’s final frontier, Myanmar presents immense potential for rapid growth and we are excited to share our engaging brand programming and innovative social spaces with the burgeoning nation,” said Lothar Pehl, senior vice president, operation and global initiatives for Starwood Hotels & Resorts Asia Pacific.

Details of the spa at the Yangon Hotel are not yet available.
