PM visits construction site of new $100m MetroCity in Batumi hotel

The hotel boom is continuing in Georgia’s seaside resort town Batumi with work already started on a new $100 million USD hotel complex.

After opening the new Colosseum Marina Hotel in Batumi earlier today, Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili visited the construction site where the new MetroCity in Batumi Hotel is being built.

Metro Atlas Georgia, the company responsible for building the new hotel, has been working on the project since February 2015, employing about 2,000 people.

Metro Atlas Georgia falls under the Metro Holding brand, which has its shares on the Istanbul stock exchange in Turkey.

At the new hotel site PM Garibashvili learnt about the ongoing works and he expressed his hope that the new hotel would make Georgia’s Adjara region a more attractive place for foreign visitors.

Garibashvili thanked Turkish investor for their contribution to the MetroCity in Batumi Hotel project, as well as their recent transferal of $500,000 to the Government-initiated Solidarity Fund.

The 12-storey MetroCity in Batumi Hotel will have at least 203 rooms. The complex will feature three buildings and 594 apartments.

MetroCity in Batumi Hotel will open its doors on June 1, 2016.

Already this year three hotels have opened in Batumi.
