…as 138-room, over US$20M Aiden Hotel opens doors in heart of the city
Georgetown is on the cusp of a transformation that will turn it into a world-class, family and pedestrian friendly city that will help Guyana to attract millions of visitors every year. These were the words of President Dr Irfaan Ali, speaking during Saturday’s commissioning of the 138 room, over US$20 million Aiden Hotel by Best Western.
The hotel, which is located at the corners of Oronoque and Robb Streets, Bourda, is nestled in the very heart of the city. It is therefore fitting that President Ali used the occasion to unveil more details on the Government’s planned collaboration with the United Kingdom (UK) based King’s Foundation to develop and transform Georgetown.

One, culture and heritage. So, we want, when visitors come, they must walk from Kingston all the way around the city and be able to enjoy the culture and heritage of the city. That means we have to rebuild all our heritage facilities,” President Ali said.</p><p>“We have to clean up the city. Do back all the drainage. Make the drainage economically viable, by putting in modern drainage facilities in which you can have parking over the drainage. In which you can have cycle lanes over the drainage. In which you can create greenery along the drainage. And peaceful, tranquil, safe walking circuits throughout the city.”</p><p>He also revealed that the capital city would be segmented into four sections, in line with international standards for capital cities. One section would be dedicated to culture, one will be green walkway and one will be city parks.</p><p><img data-recalc-dims=)
