On May 19, Petra Group and Europe’s number one hotel operator, Accor, signed a cooperation agreement, marking a transition to a completely new stage in the development of Georgian ski tourism.
Within the framework of the agreement, Swissôtel’s first hotel and branded residence complex will be built on 4.5 hectares of land in one of the most exclusive locations in Gudauri.
The project includes a 180-room hotel and 290 branded residences.
Petra Group plans to create a premium ski resort that will fully meet the standards of the world’s leading destinations.
Swissôtel Hotel and Residences Gudauri is distinguished by its diverse infrastructure tailored to the specifics of a mountain resort, which includes an après-ski zone, indoor and outdoor pools, a lobby, restaurants and bars, wellness centers, ski lockers, children’s areas, and a gym.
This is the second strategic cooperation between Petra Group and Accor. Last year, within the framework of the Petra Sea Resort project, a Pullman hotel and branded residences complex was signed in Tsikhisdziri, which, in turn, also set a precedent on the Black Sea coast.
After the success of Petra Group’s flagship project, Petra Sea Resort, Petra Group is launching an equally large-scale project, Petra Ski Resort in Gudauri, for which the Swiss premium brand — Swissôtel — was specially selected.
Petra Group General Director Tinatin Kalandarishvili spoke about the details:
“Today is a very important day for our company. We are moving to a new stage of development, expanding the geography of our projects, and launching a new project in Gudauri. This is our second cooperation with Accor. For Gudauri, we have chosen the renowned Swiss brand Swissôtel, and we believe that the presence of this brand in Gudauri will significantly increase the status and tourist potential of the resort.”
As Tinatin Kalandarishvili noted, the 13-hectare Petra Ski Resort includes the construction of a Swissôtel hotel and two branded residences. In addition, seven exclusive villas will be built within the project, the owners of which will fully benefit from Swissôtel’s first-class services and resort infrastructure. Petra Group continues to implement innovative projects in the best tourist zones of Georgia, from the Black Sea coast to the Caucasus Mountains, which serves to develop the country’s real estate market, increase tourism potential, and introduce prestigious international brands to the country.
