THE MARRIOTT: A decade- long Guyanese dream come true

POSITIONED to be Guyana’s first ‘Five-Star,’ internationally branded hotel, the Georgetown Marriott will open its doors for business next month, amidst the pomp and ceremony of a gala affair, set to be graced with international executives and celebrities.Roberto Grissi, General Manager of the Marriott Hotel, sat down with the Guyana Chronicle for an exclusive interview yesterday and revealed that the administrators are in the final stages of preparations for an opening come March month.
NO RIVAL
Mr. Grissi told the Guyana Chronicle that there is currently no other building in the country that is similar to that of the Marriott.
“This is a really modern property,” said Grissi – a modern property that can hold its own in any city in the world.
According to Grissi, when the facility opens its doors next month there will be no other facility locally that would be able to match or rival that of Marriott, which will boast a Presidential Suite, Casino, Restaurants, Entertainment Complex, Ballroom, Pool and a host of other amenities, inclusive of the largest and most modern conference rooms.
The Marriott Hotel, he said, will be attracting business from the local community as well as conventions and other such events coming from other countries.

A WALK to Block Alpha, in Kingston, Georgetown, will make known to disbelievers that whatever the mind can conceive, it can really achieve.

Well over a decade ago, there was a dream to build a hotel in Guyana worthy of receiving a “Five-Star” rating, a hotel with the internationally recognised insignia, ‘M.’
The first- ever Marriott Hotel at home has literally transformed the “Welcome to Guyana” experience for those fortunate enough to grace these shores through the mouth of the Demerara River.
A gentle stroll along Water Street towards the Atlantic Ocean will mesmerize anyone familiar with the landscape, as the imposing edifice that is the Marriott Hotel truly represents a change of an era in Georgetown’s structural aesthetics.
