Sheraton Hotels & Resorts announces the opening of Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s Hotel & Bungalows, located on the island of Samoa in the south Pacific Ocean. The resort marks the Sheraton brand’s second property in Samoa, following last year’s debut of Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s Resort.
Under the ownership of the Grey family in Samoa, Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s Hotel & Bungalows has completed a multi-million dollar renovation ahead of opening under the Sheraton flag, featuring extensive upgrades throughout the property.
“Known for its first mover advantage, Sheraton is once again leading the way in making an extraordinary destination like Samoa more accessible,” says Sean Hunt, regional vice president, Pacific, Starwood Hotels & Resorts.
Founded by Aggie Grey in 1933, the original hotel was established as a high profile club and gathering place for American servicemen stationed in Samoa during WWII.
Having completed a comprehensive top to bottom refresh, the property’s new design combines its colonial heritage and classic charm with contemporary updates and features to appeal to today’s traveller.
All 175 guestrooms, bungalows and suites are styled to complement the South Pacific setting, with contrasting dark wood furnishings against neutral tones.
“Starwood’s footprint in the Pacific continues to expand, and the Pacific region remains a key growth market and opportunity for us,” say Hunt. “Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s Hotel & Bungalows is an important addition for the Sheraton brand, underscoring its aggressive expansion plans as part of Sheraton 2020 – the comprehensive 10-point plan designed to put Sheraton Hotels & Resorts back in the global spotlight.”
Sheraton currently operates 11 properties in the Pacific region, with Sheraton Adelaide Hotel slated to open early 2019.
