Starwood has announced a new "premier tier" division of Sheraton, "Sheraton Grand".

"By year end, Starwood expects to have 50 newly-designated Sheraton Grand hotels around the world with plans for 100 by early 2017."

They have announced the first ten. Most simply appear to be whichever Sheratons happened to have the words "Grand" or "Grande" already in their names.

-Sheraton Grand Bangalore Hotel At Brigade Gateway
-Sheraton Grand Beijing Dongcheng Hotel
-Sheraton Grand Hotel, Dubai
-Sheraton Grand Edinburgh Hotel
-Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort
-Sheraton Grande Ocean Resort Miyazaki
-Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit
-Sheraton Grande Taipei Hotel
-Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel
-Sheraton Grande Walkerhill

Oddly, one of them is the "Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit", which isn't even a Sheraton, but one of the legacy hotels in the Luxury Collection that still has a Sheraton name dating from before the "Luxury Collection" division was ever founded. I wonder if it will be moved out of the Luxury Collection now, as Starwood has been sensibly weeding the confusing "Sheraton" name out of the LC for the past few years, by renaming or moving hotels.
