WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
Four Points by Sheraton Chicago O`Hare Airport is putting the final touches on a
$5 million renovation that has resulted in significant upgrades to the lobby,
guest rooms, restaurant and fitness center, as part of the Four Points by
Sheraton global revitalization campaign. In the past fiveyears, Starwood Hotels
& Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) and its licensees have invested more than
$1 billion to reinvent the Four Points by Sheraton brand driven by major
property renovations, conversions and new-build hotels.

Four Points by Sheraton Chicago O`Hare Airport was recently named the "Best
Hotel for Business near Chicago`s O`Hare Airport" by Chicago Business Powered by
Crain`s. The hotel`s number one ranking reflects its newly refurbished guest
rooms, upgraded meeting facilities, and brand-new, 30-passenger airport
shuttles, which run every 20 minutes. When guests pull up to the hotel, they
will notice enhanced signage on the hotel`s exterior, including the familiar
Four Points by Sheraton pinwheel logo.

The upgraded lobby and family room boast comfortable, new seating and cozy,
conversational areas where guests can chat with fellow travelers, grab a cup of
fresh coffee and pop open their laptops using the hotel`s free high-speed
Internet. Ideal for both corporate and social functions, the hotel`s 12,000
square-feet of renovated meeting facilities include two ballrooms and an
executive boardroom. The hotel also refreshed its full-service restaurant,
Mirage, with new colors, as well as new carpeting and seating to create a
casual, relaxed atmosphere. Guests will also enjoy working out in the hotel`s
renovated fitness facility, which offers new LifeFitness equipment with LCD
televisions.

"Four Points by Sheraton Chicago O`Hare Airport now truly embodies the brand`s
revitalized contemporary look and feel. We upgraded not only our guest rooms,
but also the lobby, restaurant and meeting facilities to create an open,
relaxing atmosphere for travelers," said Arun Sharma, General Manager, Four
Points by Sheraton Chicago O`Hare Airport. "We strive to provide guests with
everything they want and need - spacious guestrooms, comfortable beds, and an
engaging social atmosphere."

The hotel`s 295 completely refurbished guest rooms are fresh, clean and
comfortable. Rooms were repainted and outfitted with contemporary, new
furniture, including desks designed for the laptop user, and new lighting and
artwork. Highlights of the all-new bathrooms include new tubs, flooring,
fixtures, mirrors and lighting. Rooms also offer flat-screen televisions, free
bottled water, complimentary high-speed Internet and new bedding on the
signature Four Points by Sheraton Four Comfort Bed, a luxurious ensemble with a
