The Aiden Hotel, located at the corners of Robb and Oronoque Street in Georgetown, is nearing completion, with approximately 91% of the construction already finished.
The Aiden Hotel, a 100% local investment by Arimu Investments Incorporated, has made significant progress since its last update at the end of 2023.
According to Geraldo Alphonso, Co-Director of Arimu Investments, the hotel is expected to be fully completed by mid-year, with a conservative estimate at the end of June.
During a tour of the facility, Minister of Tourism, Industry, and Commerce, Oneidge Walrond, expressed her excitement about the project, highlighting its alignment with the government’s vision of positioning Guyana as a tourism hub in the region.
She emphasized the importance of offering high-standard accommodations to visitors, which the Aiden Hotel aims to deliver.
Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, Chief Executive Officer of the Guyana Office for Investment (GoInvest), commended the initiative of local investors in the tourism and hospitality sector.
He noted the attention to detail in the hotel’s construction, including fire safety measures, and praised the uniqueness of the establishment.
Dr. Ramsaroop highlighted the significance of the Aiden Hotel as the first major hotel within Georgetown’s city limits built by the local private sector.
The Aiden Hotel, with an estimated cost of $20 million, will span nine floors of a modern 74,000-square-foot building.
It will feature over 100 executive rooms, an executive bar and lounge, conference rooms, private dining areas, a state-of-the-art gym, and restaurant facilities.
Once completed, the Aiden Hotel is poised to elevate Georgetown’s hospitality scene, offering both locals and visitors a high-quality accommodation option in the heart of the city.
