Touchdown at a Sheraton hotel for this year�s Six Nations rugby matches. Regardless of the result on the pitch, staying at a Sheraton hotel is a guaranteed winner off the pitch. Whilst in Edinburgh stay at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa , only a short stroll away from Murrayfield. The hotel is on the doorstep of Edinburgh�s best nightlife and fantastic restaurants, or supporters can relax after the post match excitement at the award winning One Spa, sponsors of the Scottish Rugby team. Sheraton offers spectators at Twickenham a variety of hotels in London or Heathrow to choose from. Whilst staying at the Sheraton Park Tower, the Sheraton Belgravia or the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel, Piccadilly, rugby widows can enjoy London�s best shopping in nearby Knightsbridge and Oxford St. For proximity to Twickenham and convenience, International rugby followers can�t beat staying at the two Sheraton properties at Heathrow � the Sheraton Skyline and Sheraton Heathrow. Or perhaps a continental weekend is in store at a French or Italian fixture. After an afternoon of rugby at the Stade de France enjoy a good night�s post match sleep in the custom designed Sweet Sleeper bed at the Sheraton Paris Airport Hotel, only a few miles from the stadium. For Italian games at Stadio Flaminio, the Sheraton Roma is the ideal place to retire to wind down after an exciting game, ready for the flight home the following morning from Rome Airport. Rugby room rates start from �59 room only , based on two people sharing and subject to availability.
