A week has passed since that communication and there has been no new information.Paula ButlerWhen Marriott International announced the project, it said the state-of-the-art architectural and interior design concept for the Guyana Project would be created by the firm of Urbahn Architects (New York).The Head of the Privatisation Unit in Guyana, Winston Brassington, did not return calls for clarification on the status of the project.In July, the government placed advertisements in the newspapers asking for interested contractors to make pre-qualification applications for construction of the hotel in the Kingston area next to the Guyana Pegasus Hotel.It was noted that the hotel will be operated by Marriott International and be built according to Marriott standards.The works include the construction and erection of a 200,000 square feet, 160-rooms hotel facility along with a 75,000 square feet “entertainment complex” outfitted with common services areas/amenities that will house a casino, restaurant, nightclub, and others spaces that will be rented.In addition to interested contractors registering with Atlantic Hotel Inc.
