Sheraton said that it will upgrade 100 hotels in the United States – nearly half its North American portfolio – to give a facelift to one of its key brands. The project also will involve the renovation of 50,000 guest rooms and re-design of more than 100 lobbies. Sheraton is a brand of White Plains-based Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc.

“We are leveraging Starwood’s proven history of building great lifestyle brands to enhance the entire guest experience for the company’s most global, recognized brand,” said Hoyt H. Harper II, senior vice president for Sheraton.

Sheraton said the company and its franchise owners will spend $1.3 billion on renovations and $2 billion on new hotel openings.
