Posted at ASIATravelTips.com
Starwood has signed its first Four Points by Sheraton hotel in Cambodia and the Indochina region: Four Points by Sheraton Angkor, Cambodia. Scheduled to open in 2009, the hotel will feature 150 rooms, 8,500 square feet of meeting space, 3 restaurants, a health club, spa, swimming pool and a business center. The hotel will be located on Road No. 6 which links Siem Reap international airport to Siem Reap town. The hotel is a 10-minute drive from the airport, a 5-minute drive to the city and a 10-minute drive to the heritage site of Angkor temples.
“We are thrilled about the choice location of our new hotel in Angkor and are honored to partner with TTY Corporation Co., Ltd to manage this exciting new addition to our portfolio in the Indochina region, which will provide the Four Points by Sheraton brand with a great presence. Cambodia’s tourism industry has continued to experience very strong growth for the past few years, with an average growth rate of close to 20%. In particular, over 50% of travelers to Cambodia visit Siem Reap. Although there are a number of upper upscale international and local hotels in Siem Reap, there are no internationally branded upscale hotels present in Siem Reap. The introduction of Four Points by Sheraton Angkor will be an exciting addition to the market and will offer travelers to this city more options in terms of guest experiences and accommodation,” said Wayne Buckingham, Regional Vice President for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Thailand and Indochina region.
Besides Four Points by Sheraton Angkor, Starwood is currently developing eight other new hotels in Thailand and the Indochina region: Le Meridien Pattaya Resort, Le Meridien Chiang Mai Resort, Le Meridien Chiang Rai Resort, Le Meridien Bangkok, Le Meridien Suvarnabhumi Golf Resort & Spa, W Retreat & Residences, Koh Samui, Sheraton Hua Hin Resort, Vana Belle Samui Resort & Spa, a Luxury Collection hotel.

This is a great news for our country, and if our country has a solid economic policy, our country will be one of the greatest nation in South East Asian Nations. Starwood is one of the greatest hospitality companies in the world. It has about 850 Hotels, managing in about 95 countries in the globe. Also, this company has about 145,000 full-time employees worldwide, and I (a Cambodian) am one of those who has an opportunity to work with this company at its headquarter office, located at 1111 Westchester Avenue, in White Plains, New York, 10604. The company has 7 brands in operation and 2 more are adding to its portfolio. The 9 brands are St. Regis®, The Luxury Collection®, Sheraton®, Westin®, Four Points®, W®, Le Méridien® and the recently announced AloftSM and ElementSM Hotels.

Thanks for sharing, 12:20, but can
you give me an estimate as to how
many employee we can look forward
to for this particular hotel? I
think your estimate will be better
than mine as given above.
Furthermore, I like to add that
this organization will not risk
their investments here, unless they
see some future in the area, and I
believe if this hotel going
smoothly, they will build another
one in Sihanoukville as well
afterward.
