The Sheraton Addis is a hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It is part of Starwood's Luxury Collection. It has 293 rooms, as well as a number of villas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hotelethiopia.com/hotels/sheraton-addis.html )〕 ==Profile== The hotel was built by MIDROC Ethiopia, and designed by architect Kosek Ivo .〔 Sheik Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi, built the hotel as a way of creating jobs and promoting the country's image- saying that he is "investing in Ethiopia by following my heart, not my head".〔 The hotel cost over $200 million to build, and over 500 families had to be relocated for its construction. It opened on 29 February 1998, and has been considered one of the country's leading hotels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.midroc-ethiopia.com.et/md_15sheratonaddis.html )〕 The hotel is located between two palaces, the National Palace (formerly the Jubilee Palace), which is the residence of the President of Ethiopia, and the Menelik Palace, residence of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia.〔 The hotel has hosted countless high-profile events, including Pan-African and African Union summits, as well as New Year’s Eve celebrations with special performances by world-renowned artists such as Beyonce, Ludacris, The Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna and Akon, among other guests. The hotel has been host to a number of celebrities, including the aforementioned performers; indeed, most, if not all, choose to stay in the Sheraton when in Ethiopia, according to ''The Independent''. Among the many guests include Tony Blair, Rita Marley, and Anne, Princess Royal, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton. Confusingly, the Sheraton Addis is not part of the Sheraton hotel chain, but rather Starwood's The Luxury Collection. (A search on Sheraton's website will claim that "There are no Sheraton hotels in (Ababa )" ) When it was built, it was to be within the of the ITT Sheraton Luxury group. However, Starwood, which bought Sheraton later in 1998, spun off the Luxury group as a completely different chain. There are four other hotels in the same situation, operating with the name Sheraton, but not technically part of Sheraton. Those hotels are the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit (Bangkok, Thailand), Sheraton Sofia Hotel Balkan (Sofia, Bulgaria), Sheraton Algarve Hotel (Albufeira, Portugal) and Sheraton Kuwait Hotel & Towers (Kuwait City, Kuwait). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sheraton Addis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
