Chuzhou is situated in the east of China in the Anhui province and the site for the new hotel was selected to ensure that visitors, whether travelling for business or pleasure are close to both the central business district and to historic sites such as Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial tomb.

"The opening of the first Sheraton hotel in Chuzhou underscores Starwood's continued commitment to aggressively expanding its footprint in the region and builds on the Sheraton brand's long legacy as a first-mover in markets across China and Asia Pacific," said Vincent Ong, senior brand director, Asia Pacific Brand Management, Starwood Hotels & Resorts.
