NASSAU, Bahamas — The British Colonial hotel could be back in full swing by the end of the year, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments and Aviation Chester Cooper revealed yesterday, The Nassau Guardian reported on Wednesday, February 1, in article written by Chester Robards.
He explained to reporters outside Cabinet that work is ongoing at the former Hilton branded hotel, but said an update is needed from the developers.
“We’re anticipating that parts of the hotel will be open during the summer months based on the most recent information received from the owners of the resort,” said Cooper. “They are pushing to have the hotel fully opened by the end of the year, by the winter season.”
Hilton and China Construction America (CCA) reached a “mutual and amicable” agreement to end the management agreement for the British Colonial hotel, a Hilton spokesperson told Guardian Business last January.
CCA owns the complex of buildings that includes Margaritaville, One Particular Harbour and a parking garage collectively known as The Pointe, as well as the British Colonial Hilton building.
The spokesperson explained last year that the termination of the agreement allows both parties to “explore new opportunities”.
The hotel closed as a Hilton-branded hotel on February 15, 2022. See complete article in The Nassau Guardian at https://thenassauguardian.com/british-colonial-could-reopen-fully-by-the-end-of-2023/
