Georgetown : Chairman of the Atlantic Hotel Inc. (AHI) Winston Brassington told members of the media the 160 room Marriot Hotel will open its doors on April 16, 2015.
Brassington explained that without the support of the parliamentary opposition, the project is 99 percent completed.
Guyana is now home to the first Marriott Hotel in the Caribbean and Latin America with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
The 160-room hotel will operate under a management agreement with AHI, which is currently owned by the Government of Guyana, as part of a public-private partnership between the government and private sector investors.
The complex houses a seven-storey main structure, an administration building containing offices, and a banquet hall on the eastern side, and a separate entertainment complex to the west, containing a specialty restaurant, nightclub and casino.
It has also started its process of staff employment, with 230 Guyanese already being selected.
