On March 7th, 1887, Ernest Henderson, the founder of Sheraton, was born in Sushushan Town, not far from Boston, USA. Mr Henderson began to enter the hotel industry in 1933. Sheraton was one of the first two hotels of Sheraton Hotel Company. In 1937, he established Sheraton Hotel Company, which started to use the unified name of Sheraton in 1939, and didn't really build its first hotel until 1957, when Sheraton Company was founded for 21 years.

Since 1963, Sheraton has owned more than 711 hotels in more than 81 countries around the world. Sheraton is strict in site selection, mainly choosing attractive metropolises and resorts. In the hotel and casino industry, Starwood Group has a strong brand awareness in major markets around the world and is in a leading position in pricing. Starwood hotels are well located, mainly in big cities and resorts. The criteria for the location of group hotels are: the development history of the region shows that there is a large and growing demand for full-service luxury high-end hotels in this region, and the space available for building stores is limited, so it is quite expensive to develop this space. As the largest hotel group in the luxury and high-end market segment of the hotel industry, the scale of Starwood Hotel strongly supports its core marketing and reservation system. Starwood Hotel focuses on luxury and high-end market segments, while its brands focus on different secondary markets in this market. Starwood Hotel also occupies an important position in the casino industry, which mainly operates this business through Caesars brand. Sheraton Hotel provides home-away-from-home service for leisure tourists.

Henderson passed away on September 6, 1967, but his "Ten Commandments" still remain in the world:

selected from eight decoration masters through a decoration competition. Since then, she has been employed by Sheraton Hotel Company as the general host of hotel rooms, restaurants and lobby decoration.

4. You can't go back on the confirmed room reservation.

5. Don't give orders to subordinates before they fully understand the exact purpose.

6. The advantage of running a small hotel may be the taboo of managing a big hotel.

7. In order to make a deal, you must not squeeze out the last drop of blood of the other party.

8. Cold dishes are not allowed on the table.

9. Decision-making depends on facts, calculations and knowledge.

11. Don't rush to criticize the mistakes of subordinates.
