The hotel has 212 rooms and suites that offer uplifting city views where one can relax and enjoy their stay.

“Santos is a beautiful coastal city that has so much to offer. It has its own unique personality and charm, and we are proud to play an active role in the local community,” said Solange Minassian, General Manager of the Sheraton Santos. “Our hotel is proud to demonstrate Sheraton’s commitment to the local community and this celebration will allow us to tell the next chapter of Sheraton’s story. We are excited to showcase our hotel and become a gathering place for our local community and visitors alike.”

Heart for the City” is a tour that celebrates communities and Sheraton’s role within them, featuring one-of-a-kind immersive experiences designed specifically for each destination.
