Eco Inn plans to open four-star hotel in Lima district in 2009
The US hotel chain Eco Inn plans to open a four-star hotel near the El Olivar park in the Limean district of San Isidro during the second half of 2009.
The hotel, which aims to meet the demand of the growing business sector, will have 45 rooms, a business center, swimming pool and gymnasium, among other facilities.
"Although we had planned to open the hotel about the middle of this year, we have to postpone the opening till we get all municipal permissions and license", Eco Inn marketing manager in Peru, Rocío Gil, said.
She added that the company has the necessary investment for the project and so far the only reason why they do not build is because they do not have the municipal license.
Last year, the company said that it was interested in investing in other hotel projects in the country, as in the main cities of the north: Trujillo (La Libertad) and Chiclayo (Lambayeque), and some of the south.
Eco Inn also has a three-star hotel on the shores of Lake Titicaca and opposite the Island Esteves in Puno, and a recently renewed 22-room hotel at the ancient Mirador de Colca, in the Arequipa region.
Eco Inn is a brand of the US Interamerican Promo Hotels, with operations in Venezuela and Peru, where it combines low cost maintenance material and an energy saving system to run its hotels.
