Mountain city Many people think that Sheraton, like Hilton, is the name of the owner of a hotel company, but it is not. Sheraton is the name of one of the original two hotels of Sheraton Hotel Company. However, Mr. Henderson later published an autobiography in 1965 entitled "Mr. Sheraton's World". Here, Mr Henderson calls himself Mr Sheraton. Mr. Henderson started to enter the hotel industry on 1933, and he founded Sheraton Hotel Company on 1937. Hotel companies began to use the unified name of "Sheraton" from 1939. It was not until 1957 that Sheraton Company was established for 20 years that its first hotel was truly built. Before that, Mr. Henderson started his business by buying and selling restaurants. At that time, his main interest was to seize the opportunity to buy some small hotels or restaurants that had declined due to poor management. After buying it, he redesigned, updated equipment, improved management and added value to the hotel itself. His principle is that every dollar of repair cost should add at least 2 dollars to the hotel, and then seize the opportunity to profit from it. Some restaurants have been bought and sold by him four times. Under the painstaking efforts of Ernest Henderson, Sheraton Company has developed rapidly. For a long time, it has followed the holiday company closely and maintained the second position of chain hotels in the world.
