Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. today used Central Park as the venue to show off a new high-tech lounge for its Sheraton hotel chain.
The lounge, known as Link@Sheraton, is being introduced in the lobbies of Sheraton hotels around the country with such features as free Internet access, televisions, daily newspapers, and food and beverage offerings.
The 34,000-square foot exhibit in Central Park replicated the look and feel of the lounge on a larger scale with 50 computer stations and two 52-inch televisions with live cable broadcasts.
About 600 Starwood employees, including Chief Executive Officer Frits van Paasschen, were at the event billed as Sheraton’s first-ever “Global Out of Office Day.â€
The new lounges are part of Starwood’s campaign to revamp the Sheraton brand through $1.3 billion of renovations to existing hotels and $2 billion in new hotel openings.
