WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- The ever-expanding family of Four Points Hotels by Sheraton continues its global growth with the opening -- little more than one month apart -- of two new hotels in and around Beirut, Lebanon.

Mount Lebanon resort area. The 58-suite Four Points Hotel Lancaster opened its doors in Beirut 32 days later, on July 1, 2000.

Middle East division.
