Wyndham Group to Open 5 Star Hotel in Batumi
The construction of a new 5 star hotel in Batumi, Georgia’s Black Sea region, is nearing completion. Wyndham Batumi is located on Memed Abashidze Street in the place of the former post office building.
Wyndham Hotel Group owns the hotel, which joins a total of 7,800 hotels in 72 countries worldwide. This is the first Wyndham Group hotel in Georgia.
An agreement will be signed between Active Batumi and Wyndham Group, according to which Active Batumi will start operating the hotel under the name of Wyndham Group.
The hotel has 150 rooms, conference halls, spa-centers, restaurants, nightclubs, a swimming pool, Vitamin bar and administrative offices and will employ around 500 locals.
A 1400 m2 Casino Princess will also open there and expects to employ an eventual 400-500 people to monitor the 200 slot machines and 12 gaming tables.
Through this project, Wyndham Group is investing 60 million GEL in the region.
Chairman of Adjara Government, Zurab Pataradze, and the Finance and Economy Minister of Adjara, Ramaz Bolkvadze, visited the hotel several days ago.
“This hotel will make our city even more beautiful. The opening of such hotels promotes tourism development in Batumi,” Pataradze stated.
