Shula�s Opens at Sheraton Gateway LAX
Los Angeles, CA � April 2005 � The National Football League�s winningest coach Don Shula has announced the opening of Shula�s 347 at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel Los Angeles Airport. This is the first Shula�s restaurant to open in California and the west coast.

�The Sheraton Gateway is the perfect location for our next restaurant,� said Don Shula. �Los Angeles has a proud tradition of great sports teams and fans.�

Shula�s 347 at Sheraton Gateway has 96-dining room seats, an additional 44-seats in the bar and a 32-seat private dining room. The style of the restaurant has been uniquely tailored to Gateway�s sophisticated urban design with contemporary features such as state-of-the-art plasma televisions and audio/video system. The menu will consist of everything from gourmet salads and specialty fish to Certified Angus Beef® burgers and steaks.

�We are looking forward to our partnership with the Shula brand,� said Michael Miner, General Manager of Sheraton Gateway. �The successful Shula restaurants are well-aligned to our newly relaunched property and will offer guests and local residents an exceptional dining experience exclusive to the entire west coast.�

Under the management of Kor Hotel Group, Sheraton Gateway recently completed a $14 million renovation that reinvented its guest rooms and suites, outdoor pool terrace, fitness center, public and extensive meetings spaces, creating a stylish 802-room luxury boutique hotel feel within the framework of a grand, full-service and conveniently located airport hotel. In addition to Shula�s, a full-service Starbucks Café will also open at the hotel this spring. For more information please visit www.sheratonlosangeles.com.
