“This hotel will have 128 rooms and more than 1,400 m2 for corporate meetings and other activities”, he told Andina news agency.

He said the soft opening will take two or three months, depending on demand, but the official opening can take place in July 2009.

This 30 million dollar project tackles luxury tourists, who can spend 350 dollars daily.
