GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC—Hilton, a Luxury Hotel brand, has announced its plans to construct two new hotels in Guyana. In a statement, the company said the dual brands of Hilton Georgetown and DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Georgetown will be the company’s first two hotels to be built in Guyana.
Almost four years ago, a private company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government to construct two Hilton-branded hotels in Guyana, but that project never commenced, and it appears that the main Hotel company has decided to do the work itself.
The company said the two properties will be owned by an affiliate of Assets Group and managed by Hilton. They will have over 400 rooms and form part of Georgetown’s oceanfront, mixed-use business and entertainment complex.
“We believe in investing in Guyana, a country poised for significant growth and a promising future in tourism and hospitality,” said Moutaz Al Khayyat, chairman of Assets Group.
“Our choice to debut in this emerging market reflects our commitment to investing in high-potential destinations and our confidence in Guyana’s trajectory. These properties are meticulously designed to offer diverse high-end experiences,” the company announced on Wednesday.
The 11-story Hilton Georgetown will feature an elevated stay experience with 253 guest rooms and suites.
The brand-new DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Georgetown will offer 158 contemporary suites with spaces.
“We are proud to bring the flagship Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand, which continues to set the standard for travel, and the renowned DoubleTree by Hilton tradition of warm welcomes and upscale comfort to Guyana,” said Gary Steffen, global category head, Full-Service Brands, Hilton. “We look forward to welcoming travelers and bringing Hilton’s iconic hospitality to Guyana through our award-winning brands.”
The company said the hotels will stand as a testament to its dedication to creating premium, luxurious spaces that cater to the discerning needs of its guests.
