Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide will open two new hotels in Medina, Saudi Arabia, adding to its existing portfolio of 10 properties in the country.
The Sheraton Medina Hotel and Four Points by Sheraton, owned by Saudi Brothers Commercial, are due to open in the last quarter of 2012.
The Four Points by Sheraton Medina will boast 178 rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a fitness centre and a business centre, as well as free wi-fi in public areas.
Located adjacent to The Four Points, the Sheraton Medina Hotel will comprise 297 rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, Sheraton Fitness, Sheraton Club rooms and Lounge, and a meeting room.
They are both located just 150m from the Prophet's Mosque, and guests will be able to view the Mosque and Plaza from the Sheraton Medina. The Janna al-Baqi (Garden of Heaven), an important site for pilgrims, will also be easily accessible from the hotel.
