WHITE PLAINS, MY, November 27, 2007. Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) announces the opening of the Sheraton Kansas City Sports Complex Hotel, a 374-room property directly across the street from the Truman Sports Complex in Kansas City, Missouri. Acquired last year by Sage Hospitality, the new hotel underwent a $22 million dollar renovation as part of its conversion from a Clarion hotel including upgrades to all guest rooms, restaurants and public areas.
Sheraton Kansas City Sports Complex is conveniently located near the intersection for Route 70 and I-435, facing the Truman Sports Complex - home of the Chiefs, Royals and Wizards. Close to downtown, the hotel is just minutes from the shopping and entertainment at Country Club Plaza and Independence Center. An ideal spot to gather and network, Sheraton Kansas City Sports Complex offers a sports bar and full-service restaurant. In addition, the hotel will open its brand-new 60,000 square feet CoCo Key indoor water resort in the spring of 2008.
