History

In April 1995, ITT Sheraton introduced the Four Points by Sheraton brand, to replace the designation of certain hotels as Sheraton Inns. During the early 2000s, this mid-scale, moderate-rate, full-service hotel brand operated around 135 properties, across about 15 countries, but primarily in the US. [3] [4]

In 1998, Starwood acquired ITT Sheraton. [5] In 2000, Starwood relaunched Four Points by Sheraton as a premier upscale hotel chain for business and leisure travelers. The hotels initiated a Best Brews program that offers an opportunity to sample local craft beers. [6] [7]

In September 2016, Marriott acquired the Four Points by Sheraton brand as part of its purchase of Starwood. [8] After the takeover, Marriott identified properties which did not meet brand standards, which were required to either renovate, or exit the brand. [9]

In September 2023, Marriott announced a new spinoff brand of Four Points by Sheraton, called Four Points Express by Sheraton, which will target the mid-range market in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Its first property will open in London in 2024. [10]
