Salzburg
Salzburg may be known for its wealth of baroque architecture, but its native son Mozart really put it on the map. You might be tempted to head straight to the opera house, but a more unique experience awaits at Salzburg Marionette Theater, where a “cast” of 500 wooden marionettes performs classics like Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. After, don’t forget to stop by Café Tomaselli, a charming 19th-century coffee house famous for delicious hot chocolate — and a perfect place for locals and guests to warm up. Here’s where to stay.
The Sheraton Grand Hotel Salzburg is centrally located and close to the Old Town, Mirabell Garden, the Mirabell Palace, and the Salzburg Congress Center.
London
London boasts some of the world’s most iconic department stores – and there’s no better time to explore them than during the January sales. From Harrods to Harvey Nichols, you’ll find exclusive deals on the finest fashion, beauty and homeware. Shopped out? Escape the hustle and bustle at nearby Hyde Park, a 142-hectare green space dotted with landmarks that offer a valuable insight into British culture. Don’t miss Kensington Palace and the formidable Albert Memorial on the park’s west side. Find a hotel here.
The Sheraton Grand London Park Lane
is situated in the heart of Mayfair, just
minutes from London’s most luxurious department stores, Green Park, and Buckingham Palace.
Just minutes from Heathrow Airport, The Sheraton Skyline Hotel London Heathrow offers 350 spacious, soundproofed guest rooms.
Dubai
Much more than its glitzy bars and skyscrapers, Dubai offers a wealth of authentic experiences for travelers who want a more local feel. Start your day at the Gold Souk, a sprawling market home to hundreds of stalls offering government-regulated gold, gems, and precious metals — all of which make better souvenirs than anything you’ll find in the city’s malls. Later, venture out into the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, where you can watch the sunset while dining al fresco in the dunes. Discover the perfect place to stay.
Just 10 minutes from Dubai International Airport, the Sheraton Grand Hotel Dubai is the perfect base from which to explore the Gold Souk, Dubai Mall, and the Burj Khalifa.
Los Angeles
If there are two things synonymous with the City of Angels, its cars and movies. Explore their enduring relationship at Hollywood Dream Machines: Vehicles of Science Fiction and Fantasy, an exhibition at the Petersen Automotive Museum that uses mixed reality technology to bring to life some of the silver screen’s most spectacular rides. Or, for a more tangible cultural experience, head to the city’s annual photography fair, Photo LA, where you can score your own prize-winning piece of visual art. Book your stay today.
The Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel is conveniently located near the Huntington Library and offers an onsite spa, two restaurants, and wake-up calls provided by robot butlers.
Just one mile from LAX Airport, the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel offers its guests a modern gym, outdoor pool and complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport terminals.
The Sheraton Grand Los Angeles is the ideal downtown LA base – a stylish property that combines scenic views, luxurious furnishings, and a 24-hour fitness center.

Milan
Unsurprisingly for one of the world’s four major fashion capitals, Milan has style in spades. Fashion fans should make a beeline for 10 Corso Como, a pioneering concept store founded by Italian book and magazine editor Carla Sozzani, offering luxury clothing, jewellery, books, and cosmetics. Follow up your retail therapy with a visit to Fondazione Prada, a chic contemporary art gallery conceived by designer Miuccia Prada and architect Rem Koolhaas that’s a must for any serious aesthete. Book your stay today.
The Sheraton Diana Majestic Milan is a historic hotel located in the city centre, complete with a beautifully planted garden in which to enjoy an aperitivo.
The only hotel with direct access to Terminal 1
at Milan Malpensa Airport, the Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Centre is the ideal choice for business and leisure travellers alike.
Berlin
Berlin’s reputation for heady excess precedes it – but you don’t need to spend hours outside notorious club Berghain to have fun. Instead, go to Clärchens Ballhaus, a legendary venue that’s survived two world wars, prying communist spies, and a spell as a set for Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds”. Need some rejuvenation the morning after? Make your way to Liquidrom, probably the country’s coolest spa, where you can listen to techno while floating in a saltwater pool. Here’s the perfect place to stay.
The Sheraton Berlin Grand Hotel Esplanade is in the heart of Berlin — a sleek and impeccably serviced property just minutes away from the Kurfuerstendamm, Tiergarten, and more.
Beijing
Even the most seasoned of travellers can find themselves overwhelmed in Beijing, a vast city of 21.5 million people. So why not dodge the crowds heaving at the Forbidden City’s most frequented spots and head to the Lama Temple instead? Built in 1694, this beautifully ornate Tibetan Buddhist temple is the perfect place to find sanctuary and get closer to the local culture. After, warm up with traditional Northern Chinese dumplings, or jiaozi, at nearby Xian Lao Man, a staple for locals and tourists alike. Discover the ideal place to stay.
The Sheraton Grand Hotel Beijing Dongcheng Hotel is ideally situated close to key tourist attractions and offers four onsite restaurants spanning Chinese, Japanese, and Western cuisines.
Rio de Janeiro
Rio’s exquisite beaches make it a favourite for travellers
year-round, but this seaside city really comes alive in February. You can’t miss Carnival, an annual five-day festival that takes place at the end of the month in 2020, and sees millions of locals and tourists samba, sing, and party their way through Rio’s streets. For something less louco, check out the Museum of Tomorrow, an imposing, neofuturist-style science museum that’s powered by solar panels and cooled by water from the nearby bay. Find the perfect hotel here.
Located in upscale neighbourhood Leblon, the Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort is the city’s only beachfront resort and offers 538 guest rooms and suites nestled among beautifully landscaped grounds.
The brand-new Sheraton Milan San Siro is located near the San Siro Stadium and boasts 21 spacious conference facilities over 2,500sqm, making it the perfect place to connect.
MAR

Porto
Less frequented by tourists than the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, Porto arguably offers a more authentic introduction to the country’s rich culture. Start by exploring Ribeira, the city’s charmingly dilapidated Old Town, by foot – not forgetting to check out nearby 19th-century bookshop Livraria Lello – before venturing south across the Douro to wine cellar Porto Cálem. Here, take a well earned rest while sipping the finest local port to the enchanting sound of traditional Portuguese fado music. Here’s the perfect place to stay.
Situated in Porto’s business district, the Sheraton Porto Hotel & Spa offers a wide range of meeting rooms and an onsite spa as well as easy access to the city’s key attraction
Mallorca
March’s mild weather makes it the perfect month to venture outside Palma, Mallorca’s capital, and uncover the natural beauty of this Balearic island. Try hiking the Tramuntana Mountains or cycle the Via Verde from Manacor to Artà, a greenway that leads you over tree-topped hills and peaceful valleys. For something more adrenaline-fuelled, you can’t miss the Rally Clásico Isla Mallorca, an annual rally where you can watch classic cars speed through some of the island’s most scenic spots. Book your stay today.
The Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel is
the perfect property for sports fans and leisure travellers alike, complete with access to numerous golf courses, swimming pools, and tennis and volleyball courts.
New Orleans
Located in Louisiana’s swampy south, New Orleans can sometimes be oppressively humid. But visit in March and not only will you enjoy pleasant springtime weather, you’ll catch two unmissable festivals as well. Taste a staggering array of bourbons – and learn about the tipple’s evolution – at the city’s Bourbon Festival, and later in the month raise a glass at the Tennessee Williams Festival, a five-day showcase of literature and drama that honours the Mississippi-born playwright’s creative genius. Find the ideal hotel here.
Maldives
The Maldives is well loved for its luxurious resorts and pristine white sand beaches. But this bucket-list destination’s real draw lies under the sea that surrounds its more than 1,000 islands. Diving, or snorkelling, is a must here. Not only will you see a dazzling variety of colourful fish and reefs, there’s also a chance to spot manta rays and whale sharks. Once back on land, search out a boduberu performance, a harmonious blend of drumming, singing, and dancing that’s unique to the Maldives. Discover the best hotel for your stay.
The Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa is a five-star, family-friendly resort located in the stunning surroundings of North Malé Atoll.

Amsterdam
Once famous for tours of its red-light district, Amsterdam has recently cracked down on opportunities for tourists to explore its more salacious areas. But you can still learn about
another of the vices that made the “Venice of
the North” infamous at the Hash, Marijuana and Hemp Museum, home to exhibitions on the history of cannabis smoking and Japanese hemp fashion. After, satisfy your munchies at Winkel 43, a neighbourhood café that serves what is perhaps the world’s best deep-filled apple pie. Book your stay today.
The Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and Conference Center is just a three-minute walk from the airport’s arrivals and departures hall and has 407 soundproofed guest rooms for the perfect night’s sleep.
Munich
Munich is probably best known for its boozy Oktoberfest, but the Bavarian capital is just as appealing in springtime when its many green spaces begin to bloom. Take a stroll through the English Garden, one of the largest city parks in Europe, being sure to check out the Eisbach, an artificial wave where local surfers show off their skills. Or, if you’d rather get behind the wheel, head to the BMW Driving Academy Maisach, a driving circuit where you can try your hand at tackling manoeuvres at high speed. Find the perfect hotel here.
Close to the beautiful English Garden, the Sheraton Munich Arabellapark Hotel is a stylish 446-room hotel that offers panoramic views of
the city and a two-floor wellness area.
Canary Islands / Costa Adeje
Costa Adeje is located on Tenerife’s southern coast, where one of the best things to do is, well, little more than relax on one of its blue-flag beaches. But for a richer local experience, discover some of the island’s other natural wonders. Go caving in Cueva del Viento, Europe’s largest network of lava tunnels, before venturing south to Mount Teide – a UNESCO-protected dormant volcano distinctive for its otherworldly, lunar-like landscape, and the perfect place to spend a night stargazing. Here’s the best place to stay.
The Sheraton La Caleta Resort & Spa is in a prime location in southern Tenerife and boasts three swimming pools, a kid’s club, and an onsite game room for teenagers — so it’s as suited to families as solo travellers.
Tokyo
April in Tokyo is sakura season, when the city’s more than
1,000 cherry blossom trees come into bloom. Admire their breathtaking beauty by strolling through Arisugawa Park before meandering along the sakura-lined banks of the Meguro River. Once night falls, swap peaceful Tokyo for the city’s party district by making your way to the iconic Shibuya Crossing, one of the world’s busiest intersections, before decamping to nearby Rainbow Karaoke to indulge in one of Japan’s most cherished pastimes. Discover the ideal place to stay.
The Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo is centrally located in the leafy district of Shirokanedai and offers complimentary shuttle services to and from the Meguro and Shinagawa train stations.

Warsaw
Warsaw’s past as a dreary Soviet outpost contrasts starkly with the cosmopolitan and culturally rich capital it is today. If you’re a classical music fan, visit in May, when Chopin piano recitals are held every Sunday at the foot of the Polish composer’s monument in leafy Royal Łazienki Park. And if you’d like to toast Chopin with a glass of Poland’s own, reserve a table at Elixir, an award-winning restaurant where each expertly prepared course is paired with a different vodka to delicious effect. Discover the best place to stay.
The Sheraton Grand Warsaw Hotel has 350 rooms and suites situated right in the city centre, offering easy access to nearby restaurants, bars, and key attractions.
Tbilisi
More than just a gateway to Georgia’s scenic countryside, the historic city of Tbilisi is a destination in its own right. For an idea of how the locals spend their leisure time, head to the sulfur baths, a cluster of ornate bath houses built on thermal springs whose waters are said to have myriad health benefits. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, make your way to Zakhar Zakharich to fill up on the best khinkali (dumplings) and khachapuri (cheese-filled bread), two savoury treats beloved by Georgians. Here’s the perfect place to stay.
A luxuriously appointed five-star hotel in the
heart of Tbilisi, the Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace offers a full-service spa, ballroom, and convenient airport shuttle service.
Como
The lakeside city of Como, Italy is probably best known for its postcard-pretty views, but did you know the region is just as loved for its produce? Take a trip to Vanini Osvaldo, a family-run olive oil mill where not only can you sample shots of the local blend, but also discover an array of olive-oil based cosmetics such as soaps and creams. From there, head to the Museo della Seta to learn about Como’s thriving silk industry, before returning to town to shop for some of your own at A. Picci and In Seta. Find the ideal hotel here.
Nestled in a private park, the Sheraton Lake Como Hotel features a swimming pool, solarium and 137 guest
rooms and four suites decorated with the finest
made-in-Italy furniture.
Bengaluru
Home to India’s IT industry, Bengaluru has a distinctly modern feel. But among its slick tech offices and stylish rooftop bars are some of the country’s oldest and most architecturally impressive places of worship. Take yourself on a tour of the Bull, Iskcon, and Banashankari Amma temples to gain a deeper appreciation of Indian culture, before making your way to VV Puram Food Street – a stretch of hole-in-the-wall eateries where you can feast on mouthwatering rotis, bhajia, chaat, and more. Book your stay today.

off for nearby island Koločep and stop to dine at its hidden restaurant, Villa Ruza, before taking a dip in the aquamarine waters of the Blue Cave. Back in the city, visit one of Dubrovnik’s true gems: a medieval pharmacy housed in a
14th-century Franciscan monastery where you’ll still find locals popping in for their prescriptions. Find the best hotel here.

Azerbaijan’s capital is a dazzling mix of old and new: Its 11th-century Old Town shares a skyline with groundbreaking examples of modern architecture. For a sense of the latter, visit the Heydar Aliyev Centre, a Zaha Hadid-designed masterpiece which houses a museum showcasing Azerbaijani crafts, customs, and culture. If you have time, take a day trip to Gobustan’s mud volcanoes, a post-apocalyptic, bubbling, and sometimes-explosive landscape that showcases the wonder of untouched Azerbaijan. Here’s where to stay.
The Sheraton Baku Airport Hotel is less than a 10-minute
walk from the terminals of Heydar Aliyev International Airport, which makes it a convenient choice whether
you’re travelling for business or pleasure.
NYC
New York winters can be brutal. So if you’re visiting in summer, make like the locals and head outdoors to take a bite of the Big Apple. Stroll to Shakespeare in the Park to see one of the esteemed playwright’s classics performed by a top-notch cast in Central Park. Or why not cross the bridge to Brooklyn to feast at Smorgasburg? America’s largest weekly open-air food market, this foodie mecca welcomes 20,000-30,000 people each weekend with an extensive offering from 100 local vendors.

Stockholm
Stockholm is home to world-class museums – in fact, one of the archipelago’s islands, Djurgården, is entirely dedicated to them. In summer, head there to explore Skansen, the world’s oldest open-air museum that’s something between a zoo, a theme park, and a folk museum. If the Swedish sun gets to be too much, join the locals in cooling off with a dip in one of the city’s many crystalline waterways. Don’t miss Fredhällsbadet, where you can dive off of rocks, and Långholmen, which has its own beach. Discover the perfect place to stay.

Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur might be best known for skyscrapers such as the Petronas Towers, but its limestone Batu Caves are just as magnetic. Tour these caverns, said to be millions of years old, to find masterfully sculpted Hindu statues, including one that guards the entrance at a jaw-dropping 42.7 metres tall. Don’t leave without taking a cooking class at LaZat, to get the local flavor — literally. Chefs teach how you to turn local produce into Malaysian favourites such as chicken satay and beef rendang.

Switzerland is home to some of the world’s most revered watchmakers, so it’s no surprise that Zurich has its very own Beyer Clock and Watch Museum. Home to 260 precious horological instruments, here you can learn about the history of timekeeping from 1400 BC to now. For a more unexpected perspective on the city however, join the locals for Badizeit at Flussbad Oberer Letten — i.e. take a dip in the River Limmat in the heart of Zurich, before drying off over a drink at nearby bar Panama. Here’s the best hotel to stay at.
The Sheraton Zurich Hotel offers guests a convenient central location close to the Finance Museum, as well as a range of facilities including an onsite café-bar and steakhouse.
Seattle
Nicknamed the “Emerald City,” Seattle is surrounded by expanses of evergreen trees that make its skyline the Pacific Northwest’s most remarkable. To see it in all its glory, take flight in a seaplane which is worth it alone for the thrill of taking off from and landing on water. Afterwards, join a unique local community and chow down on teriyaki at Toshi’s Teriyaki Grill. This dish might be Japanese in origin, but Seattle’s take — think thick, sweet and sticky — has an umami all of its own.
Find a first-class hotel here.
