Since 1937 in Springfield, Massachusetts the Founders of the Sheraton Hotel have been welcoming travelers. Later on, said founders started to spread their holdings opening three hotels in Boston,  soon moving to Florida. For over 70 years the Sheraton Hotels welcomes families and lone travelers, the world has changed, but one thing hasn't; Traveling is about bringing people together. 

Almost a year ago, The Starwood Company has returned to the Dominican Republic with its landmark debut of its Four Points By Sheraton brand in Puntacana. 

With more than 160 Four Points Hotels throughout the world, we can proudly say that we have the first Four Points in the country and we should celebrate that in the anniversary from October 28 until November 7.
