Starwood Hotels & Resorts announced that it has reached an agreement with Las Vegas Sands Corporation to develop two hotels on the COTAI Strip development in Macau: The Sheraton Macau Hotel and The St. Regis Hotel & Residences, Macau. The 4,000-room Sheraton Macau Hotel is expected to open in 2008 and the 460-room St. Regis Hotel and over 400 St. Regis Residences will open in 2009. The Sheraton hotel will be the largest hotel to be built on the strip, as well as Starwood’s largest hotel globally.
