Sheraton Nha Trang celebrates grand opening

The Sheraton Nha Trang Hotel & Spa had its official opening last week after taking six months to complete the final touches.
“We opened in March, but in the last few months we’ve taken the product to the next level,” said Scott Hodgetts, the Sheraton Nha Trang’s general manager. “It’s only after every aspect of your operation has been finely-tuned that you can really celebrate the introduction of a tremendous hotel. We’re there now.”
Situated less than an hour’s flight from HCMC, the 30-storey, 284-room Sheraton Nha Trang drinks in views of Nha Trang Bay, which has been rated as one of the world’s most beautiful bays. The property offers both leisure and business travelers more accommodation options for their trip to the central coastal city.
“Blending the resort charm with modern comforts, the Sheraton Nha Trang Hotel & Spa is a choice addition to the Sheraton resort portfolio,” said Wayne Buckingham, regional vice president of Starwood Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Singapore. “The hotel offers visitors a variety of sites to explore and a wide selection of restaurants, markets and exciting adventures.”
Other facilities of the Sheraton Nha Trang on Tran Phu Street include the Wine Bar, the Shine Spa, the first purpose-built cooking school inside the hotel, a WiFi community lounge and a multi-purpose function room.
Sheraton is the largest and most global brand of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. – a global hotel and leisure company with over 980 properties in more than 100 countries and territories.
