GEORGETOWN (Dec. 17)—Choice Hotels is continuing its Caribbean growth with the addition of the elegant 25-room Opus Hotel in Georgetown, Guyana on the coast of South America to its growing list of upscale properties.
The 12th hotel in Choice Hotels’ Caribbean portfolio is situated in a prime location in Stabroek, located in central Georgetown, near several regional and international development organizations.
The hotel offers easy access to the area’s art and craft museums, popular restaurants, nightlife and numerous cultural heritage sites, including the Monument of Queen Victoria and St. George’s Cathedral. The hotel also provides convenient access to the University of Guyana, the Georgetown Seawall and a variety of attractions, such as Promenade Gardens, Marine Turtle Monument, Walter Roth Museum and Brickdam Cathedral.
“The collection strives to heighten the guest experience by bringing local colors and character into the hotel,” said Neil Cantor, head of Ascend Hotel Collection for Choice Hotels International. “With its tropical climate and quaint Dutch and Victorian influenced architecture, the capital city of Georgetown is an exceptional destination, with much to offer visitors and eco tourists. The Opus Hotel delivers on the Ascend Collection’s promise to offer a distinct and memorable experience while providing exceptional guest services.”
The Opus Hotel features 23 standard guest rooms and two executive rooms, complete with hardwood floors and jetted tubs. The hotel also showcases impeccable amenities, such as a restaurant and bar and small meeting-room facilities.
Adding a twist to Choice’s signature free hot breakfast, the Opus Hotel will also serve local favorites, such as saltfish, metagee, pepperpot, cook-up rice and a variety of Caribbean curry dishes.
“I am confident that this relationship with Choice’s Ascend Hotel Collection is not only the right fit for the Opus Hotel, but will also help elevate Guyana’s image in the global travel marketplace,” said Wilfred Brandford, owner of the Opus Hotel.
The Choice Hotels International Caribbean portfolio currently includes hotels on the Caribbean islands of the Cayman Islands, Aruba, Curaçao, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, in the nation of the Dominican Republic and now in the nation of Guyana, in addition to the Bahamas.
