Premium-class hotel Crowne Plaza will be opened in Batumi at the end of 2016. According to Valery Chekheria,  General Director  of Adjara Group Hospitality who operates  Holiday Inn Tbilisi, Rooms Tbilisi,  Rooms Kazbegi hotels,  active works are  underway.

"At this point, we try to focus as much as possible at "Intercontinental " hotel in Tbilisi. However, works have not been stopped in Batumi as well. We suppose that these two hotels will open one after another and Crowne Plaza will  be opened  by the end of  next year ", - Valery Chekheria notes.

According to him, the total cost of the  project  will exceed $ 20 million.

Initially, it was planned to be built Holiday Inn hotel in Batumi. However, later Valery Chekheria announced the construction of  Crowne Plaza hotel instead of Holiday Inn.

In Chekheria’s words, Holiday Inn  will not be able to compete with  such hotels  as Radisson, Sheraton, Hilton. Therefore, to make the  market more competitive, it was decided to choose  a relatively upscale hotel brand.

Crowne Plaza, as well as Holiday Inn, is the  InterContinental Hotels Group member and is known as the brand focused on the conference concept.  A 5-storey hotel that will consist of  173 rooms will be also calculated for  relatively high-income segment.

 Valery  Chekheria notes that   the company  always offers special products differing   from other hotels. Therefore, a different restaurant, spa and pool will be placed on the roof of the hotel.
