Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. is opening the Sheraton Brooklyn New York, a 25-story property that features 321 guest rooms. It will be the first full-service hotel to open in Brooklyn in more than 12 years as it marks the first of two Sheraton hotels that will make their New York debut in 2010 — The Sheraton Tribeca New York Hotel will open in the fall.
The property is part of the brand’s strategic expansion that will add approximately 50 new hotels and over 20,000 rooms to the Sheraton portfolio over the next three years.

Situated within the MetroTech Center on Duffield Street, the hotel is close to the United States District Courthouse in addition to numerous large-scale businesses such as Chase Manhattan Bank and Morgan Stanley. It is also located next to the new Aloft hotel, slated to open this fall, and within reach of all major New York City airports.
