Le Méridien unveils Barbados hotel plan
A 200-room hotel in Barbados due to open in 2010 is to be managed by Le Meridien Hotels & Resorts.
The property will be part of a new luxury waterfront development at the Pierhead in Bridgetown.
The five-star hotel is to feature in a mixed development project, including 200 apartments, a 150-berth marina, tax-free shopping outlets, parking and a maritime museum.
Le Méridien CEO Robert Riley said: “Being part of this important new development, which will also offer a choice of leisure and business facilities, represents a fantastic opportunity.
“Currently there is a limited presence of international hotel brands on the island and we are delighted to have this opportunity to establish a Le Méridien hotel in Barbados.”
Le Méridien Barbados will offer banqueting for 500 guests, a marina restaurant, beach-side pool terrace and bar, health and fitness club, roof top bar, pool and dedicated parking.
A spokesman for Pierhead Project Investors, the firm behind the development, said: “We look forward to working with Le Méridien. We believe that their European heritage and worldwide marketing expertise are two key elements that will provide guests with the hospitality and service standards needed to make the hotel a successful part of this exciting new project.”
