Guyanese and Trinidadian investors who form part of TRINUYANA Investments Inc. recently signed a contract with China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) Ltd. for the construction of a US$50M Marriott AC Hotel.
The construction for the facility which will have 150 rooms is expected to start on June 1, 2022 and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Under the contract a five-storey full-service hotel will be built near the Eugene F. Correia International Airport, in Ogle. It is expected that over 400 temporary jobs will be created when construction commences. Once operationalized, approximately 140 permanent jobs will be created with Guyanese nationals filling 99 percent of those posts.
Some of the amenities of the new facility will include a swimming pool, fitness room, lounge, library, media salon, meeting room, reception area, a courtyard, and an outdoor area. Paved parking lots, drive aisles, and site roads will be situated north of the building. Additionally, 114 parking spaces will be provided, while a drop off roundabout will be constructed in front of the courtyard. Retail stores are also included in the design. The target market includes business and tourist travellers.
The company, at the signing, gave special praise to the government and its respective agencies for providing guidance, land and substantial incentives to make the project viable.
AC Hotel is part of The Marriott Group of hotels where the flexibility in design lends itself to a modern feel with open spaces, while maintaining its European history.
