Brand Identity
Sheraton Hotels & Resorts
The identity of Sheraton is powerful and pervasive.
With almost 400 properties in 72 countries, Sheraton
is a globally recognized landmark of upscale hospitality
and warm, attentive service. Starwood’s worldliest brand
is an industry leader in its class. Discerning business and
leisure travelers count on Sheraton to offer an environment
of substantial comfort and confident style, unaffected by
passing fads. They appreciate Sheraton’s consistency of
excellence, whether their itineraries lead them to dynamic,
cosmopolitan cities or palm-fringed shores.
Maintaining the visual integrity of the Sheraton brand is
a key component of its ongoing success. A carefully
developed graphic program provides a powerful set of
creative tools for which Sheraton property owners,
advertising affiliates and design associates will be able
to build a consistent, strong brand identity. There’s a
look to Sheraton. A fine-tuned style of communication
that rewards everyone.
