The sod was turned yesterday for the construction of a US$15 million Aiden Hotel, the country’s first franchise β€œboutique” hotel, which is expected to provide jobs for 150 local workers during the construction phase and no less than 50 others once operations begin.

The 74,000 sq. ft. facility, which is being erected at Lots 88/89 Robb and Oronoque streets, Georgetown, will be the first Aiden hotel to be completed in South America and the Caribbean. There are already 12 others across the world.

Construction begins today, with the first phase of pile driving. The project is expected to be completed within 18 months.

Sugar workers on vacation can't afford the stay at a boutique hotel that offers a more luxurious experience to guests compared to a regular hotel. They are unique, stylish, and they focus on giving comfort and quiet. Guests prefer boutique hotels because they give the best hotel experience.

The Hotel was built for the rich folks and not the 'poor rass'  Guyanese people who go back home and sponge off their poor relatives.

There are about 15 such Aiden-hotels around the world. If they lose money in Guyana, it's their problem and not the Government.

How many people stayed at the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas?

Enough investors should take the PPP government to the courts. There are no infra-structures to support these investments and guests are molested by criminal acts in the city.

Don't go there. The investors know that.  Most of the investors came to Guyana and want the Government to bankroll them.

What Guests are molested by criminal acts in the city? That used to happen during Burnham's reign when he used the "kick down the door bandits' to terrorize Indo_Guyanese.
