SHERATON ATLANTA AWARDED ELITE MEETINGS GOLD CERTIFICATION  

ATLANTA, GA—DECEMBER  12, 2009 -- The Sheraton Atlanta, the City's 6th largest meeting and convention hotel, just added to its impressive portfolio of industry and community awards when Elite Meetings International announced the 763 room downtown property had won its coveted “Elite Gold” Certification.

Elite Meetings International based in Santa Barbara, California is an independent organization composed of experts in the meetings and hospitality industries who review destination hotels and resorts worldwide for possible “Elite Certification.”

The “Elite Gold” certification is earned, and recognition is granted only to properties offering exceptional experiences for groups based on stringent criteria for excellence in accommodations, meeting facilities, activities, amenities, food and beverage, and service.

Through its www.elitemeetings.com, Elite Meetings International provides comprehensive, meeting planner-oriented resources for finding the best meeting and incentive properties in North America on behalf of 20,000 professional meeting planners.

More than $70 million has been invested in Atlanta 's flagship Sheraton property in recent years including $50 million upgrading all 90,000 square feet of meeting space and $20 million in 2008-2009 creating all new bedrooms plus fashionable architectural enhancements.

The Sheraton Atlanta also features another recent addition--a contemporary art collection valued at close to a million dollars including 62 original art works, 13 sculpt pieces and 50 signed limited edition prints by established and emerging national and international artists.

These significant enhancements have contributed to elevating the Sheraton Atlanta's revival from an unpretentious property into a stylishly designed, eminently comfortable hotel with a new verve and identity.
