By Vishani Ragobeer
PROMINENT businessman Chunilall Baboolall has put September 2017 as the opening date for the Aruwai Plaza on Sheriff Street, Georgetown, revealing that it will include a revolving restaurant and a 50-room hotel.The building, opposite Royal Castle, has been under construction for years, but Baboolall said that the construction is in its final stages and would be completed for opening next September.
Baboolall six months ago wowed Guyana with the opening of the state of the art Aruwai Resort: White H2O resort off Bartica.

He was speaking at the opening of the resort’s Georgetown Office when he revealed plans for Aruwai Plaza.
Apart from the revolving restaurant and hotel, he said the property will feature another restaurant, along with a supermarket, a line of clothing, and other amenities.
Baboolall said Aruwai Plaza will employ some 200 persons and will target the local community, the diaspora and tourists in general.
The Georgetown office of the resort was opened at 49-52 Sheriff street, where the Plaza is under construction.
Since its opening six months ago, the Aruwai Resort has been highly regarded. The resort boasts 50 rooms and has luxuries and is seen as a trend-setter in the Guyanese tourism market as well as the wider Caribbean.
Bookings and payments for stay at the resort were previously made at the resort itself; however the marketing team stated that the Georgetown office will now make it possible for visitors to make their bookings and gain information on the resort’s special deals and packages.
The team gave the reassurance that all special deals (such as the ongoing Father’s Day package) available at the resort could be accessed at the Georgetown office.
