The company has signed an agreement with Dynasty Development Limited to convert an existing Port Moresby hotel.
Sheraton Port Moresby Stanley Hotel & Suites is set to open in August 2025, after the first stage of a refurbishment program.
“Marriott International’s proven sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, along with the extensive reach of more than 203 million Marriott Bonvoy members worldwide, is driving unprecedented interest from independent and existing hotels to join our global portfolio,” says Richard Crawford, vice president, hotel development, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, Marriott International.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Dynasty Development Limited to debut the Sheraton brand in Papua New Guinea.
“The market-leading positioning enjoyed by The Stanley Hotel & Suites, plus the owner’s commitment to a full hotel refurbishment, make this property a very compelling brand conversion.”
James Sze Yuan Lau, director of Dynasty Development Limited, says, “Introducing the Sheraton brand to Port Moresby represents a significant milestone for us in the Papua New Guinea market.
“The current hotel, with its storied legacy and commitment to excellence, perfectly embodies the essence of Sheraton’s renowned hospitality.
“We are excited to collaborate with Marriott International to elevate this property and deliver unparalleled experiences to our guests.”
Plans for the refurbished hotel include 268 premium rooms, 15 suites and 95 apartments.
It will be home to Papua New Guinea’s largest conferencing facility with 2500 square metres of events and meetings space.
Sheraton Port Moresby will join Marriott Executive Apartments Port Moresby to become Marriott International’s second hotel in the city.
It will be the 11th Sheraton hotel in the Australia Pacific region, with other high-profile hotels and resorts in Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Port Douglas, Fiji, New Caledonia and Samoa.
