Makassar, formerly known as Ujung Pandang, is the largest city on Sulawesi, one of Indonesia's largest islands. Featuring charming city views the Four Points by Sheraton Makassar is conveniently located in the heart of downtown. The Celebes Convention Center is only 10 minutes away from the hotel by car, and Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport UPG can be reached in 30 minutes. Step out to explore South Sulawesi provincial capital on a local becak (trishaw). Filled with maritime history, Makassar was once home to the famous Bugis shipbuilders that traveled far to trade their Sulawesi cloves, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg and other spices.
