Starwood Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement to open a new Sheraton hotel in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2015, Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel will mark Starwood’s entry into the city and the company’s fourth hotel in Croatia.
“We are pleased to expand into our third partnership with HUP Zagreb d.d. in Croatia and look forward to introducing the Sheraton brand into the growing European resort market of Dubrovnik,” says Michael Wale, president of Starwood for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. “Our expanding footprint in Croatia reflects the country’s continuing prominence as a travel destination, and the growing demand for strong, globally recognized hotel brands along the Adriatic Coast.”
Dubrovnik is a UNESCO heritage-listed city set on the Adriatic Sea at the southern end of Croatia. Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera will be located along what is commonly referred to as the Dubrovnik Riviera, which is a stretch of coastline that runs from the old city of Dubrovnik in the north to Cavtat in the south.
The 250-room property will offer a spa, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, and a tennis court. Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera will include one of the largest conference facilities along the Croatian Adriatic Coast with approximately 10,763 square feet of space.
Starwood currently operates three hotels in Croatia: Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel will join Le Méridien Lav in Split, Sheraton Zagreb Hotel, and the Westin Zagreb.
