Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. said its Sheraton Hotels & Resorts flag will open three more hotels in China before the end of January. Opening first is the Sheraton Wenzhou Hotel on Dec. 28, followed by the Sheraton Jiangyin Hotel on Dec. 31 and the Sheraton Shanghai Hongkou Hotel on Jan. 15.

Those added locales will give Sheraton a portfolio of 35 hotels in Greater China, with another 29 in the pipeline. “China is now Starwood's second largest hotel market outside the United States and our iconic Sheraton brand is leading the charge, accounting for more than half of all Starwood hotels opening across this vast, dynamic country,” said Simon Turner, president of global development for Starwood. “Sheraton has rapidly built a footprint not only in well-known cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, but also in many emerging urban centers. And demand continues to outpace supply in China, where there are 171 cities with a population of more than a million people.”
