Guest Experience
The hotel partnered with Cheng Chung Design, a leading hospitality design firm in Hong Kong, who drew inspiration from San Gabriel’s historic Spanish missions to blend earth tones, bronze metal accents, and sleek leather furniture with touches of modern elegance. All guest rooms are outfitted with marble bathrooms, coffee makers, tea kettles, refrigerator, and 49” televisions with international programming in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Exclusive accommodations are given to loyal SPG guests on the Club Level, including complimentary continental breakfast, hors d’oeuvres and evening beverage service in the Sheraton Club Lounge.
With the growing Chinese-speaking population of San Gabriel in mind, the Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel has partnered with Chinese social media service, WeChat (ID: sheraton_san_gabriel), allowing staff to interact with customers in real time, and becoming the first Sheraton to offer WeChat pay and Alipay.
