GEORGETOWN, GUYANA \u2013 President Irfaan Ali and Pegasus Hotel owner Robert Badal officially broke ground for a new 13-storey, internationally branded, five-star hotel, marking a significant expansion of the country’s hospitality sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new hotel, which will be constructed between the Pegasus Corporate Suites and the original Pegasus building, is designed to blend modern luxury with the hotel\u2019s longstanding heritage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will require the demolition of parts of the existing Pegasus Poolside and Grand Savannah Suite to make way for the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once completed, the hotel will feature 170 executive rooms, a gym on the third floor, an executive lounge on the 13th floor, and a penthouse offering panoramic views of the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investment is expected to enhance Guyana\u2019s tourism and hospitality landscape while contributing to economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Ali commended the project as a bold step in adding value to Guyana\u2019s infrastructure and national assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen the country\u2019s appeal as a prime business and tourism destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction is expected to commence soon, with completion anticipated within two to three years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pegasus Hotel, originally established in 1969, was Guyana\u2019s first international-standard hotel and continues to play a key role in shaping the local hospitality industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
