It was a night of excitement at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel located adjacent to the Los Angeles Airport.
Executives of Sheraton and the Pyramid Hotel Group joined the media in an event announcing the completion of a two year hotel renovation that included all 802 rooms and 100 suites as wll as the all new Costero California Bar + Bistro.
The popping of champagne corks by Hotel executives including Bill Sinclair, V.P. and Managing Director, Darryl Stewart, director of sales and marketing, Ferdinand Castro, senior sales manager and Travis Lough, regional director highlighted the evening.  Guests were greeted in the new meeting area that adjoins the smart Costero Bistro and dining room and includes large windows looking out on the resort styled pool area and deck.
A bar showed the some of the smart cocktails now featured in the Bistro and Executive Chef Orazio Parisi lavished many of his Italian and Mediterranean specialties on all present
Meanwhile in the Costero Bistro the nightly throng that are regularly present were looking at the huge television screen that fills one wall.
A full page of the menu is devoted to the beverages that Costero features.  Also popular are the Neapolitan pizzas prepared by Chef Orazio.
