Carlson Rezidor Vice-President Checks Progress of New Radisson BLU Gudauri

The Vice President of Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, David Jenkins, came to Tbilisi last week to check ongoing works on the new five-star hotel Radisson BLU being built in Georgia’s famous ski resort Gudauri, 120km north of Tbilisi.

The project will be implemented by one of the largest and most dynamic hotel groups worldwide, Carlson Rezidor, along with Georgia’s local Real Estate Development Company (Red-Co).

Red-Co and Carlson Rezidor signed a cooperation agreement in February 2016, which envisages a $15 million investment from Red-Co to open a 105-room hotel with a restaurant, spa and swimming pools.

Jenkins met Georgia’s Deputy Economy Minister Ketevan Bochorishvili and discussed further investment potential in Georgia’s mountainous areas. The officials travelled to Gudauri where Jenkins visited the construction site of the Radisson Blu Gudauri hotel.

“It is important that international brands like Radisson are interested in Georgia’s regions, which, of course, will bring additional recognition to our country, improve the quality of services and increase the number of international visitors,” Botchorishvili said.

The hotel is located at the base of the Gudauri ski gondola and is expected to open in 2018.

Red-Co representatives say Radisson Blu Gudauri will be the first five-star international hotel brand in the mountain resort not only in Georgia, but also in the whole Caucasus region.
