First Sheraton lands in Papua New Guinea

Sheraton Port Moresby Stanley Hotel and Suites has opened, marking the brand’s arrival in Papua New Guinea and a milestone for Marriott’s expansion in the Pacific.

The 394-key hotel is situated in Port Moresby’s central business and government districts, close to the international airport and connected to the Vision City Mega Mall, and marks Marriott International’s second property in the country.

The hotel features extensive meetings, dining and social spaces, including Papua New Guinea’s largest ballroom, complemented by a new Sheraton Club.

“The opening of Sheraton Port Moresby Stanley Hotel and Suites marks a significant milestone as we introduce one of Marriott International’s most global brands to Papua New Guinea. With Sheraton’s focus on intuitive design, technology-enabled experiences and spaces that foster connection, the hotel is positioned to become a central gathering place for both international travellers and the local community, seeking trusted hospitality,” Chief Lodging Product & Services Officer, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International, Cristiano Rinaldi said.

The hotel’s expansive lobby has been repositioned as an open, shared space, anchored by Sheraton’s signature Community Table to invite guests to gather, work, or unwind, or even retreat into one of the soundproof booths on offer. 

With 284 guestrooms, 15 suites and 95 apartments, the hotel has been designed to meet the needs of both business and leisure travellers. The apartments include separate living areas, kitchens and dining spaces, supporting extended stays and family travel.

The hotel features over 2,500 square metres of meeting and event space, designed for large-scale conferences, corporate meetings and social gatherings.

Dining at the Sheraton Port Moresby Stanley Hotel and Suites includes refined choices as well as all-day restaurants and a poolside Bar and Cafe. Meanwhile, the hotel also offers a range of wellness facilities including an infinity swimming pool with panoramic views, Sheraton Fitness and a full-service day spa. 

“The opening of Sheraton Port Moresby Stanley Hotel & Suites after it’s transformative renovation represents an important milestone for Papua New Guinea’s hospitality sector – bringing the global Sheraton brand and much-loved hospitality experiences to Papua New Guinea. We are thrilled to welcome guests to Sheraton Port Moresby Stanley Hotel & Suites, a place where travelers from around the world and locals can connect, relax, and create memories. We look forward to the Grand Opening Event slated for later this year, where we will officially launch Sheraton’s arrival to Papua New Guinea,” Sheraton Port Moresby Stanley Hotel and Suites General Manager, Shin Ching, said.
