Blazon Hotels, a prominent luxury hospitality brand managing an exclusive portfolio of hotels across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Enso Innovations Inc., a leading construction company based in Toronto, Canada, to develop a sustainable luxury hotel in the heart of Georgetown, Guyana. This visionary project, supported by the Caribbean Marketing Enterprises Inc. (CMEI), will utilize Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) technology, a revolutionary construction material sourced from responsibly managed Canadian forests.

Blazon Hotels, under the umbrella of Smart Hospitality Solutions (SHS), is renowned for its innovative approach to luxury hospitality, blending timeless sophistication with cutting-edge sustainability practices. This collaboration with Enso Innovations, a leader in sustainable construction, marks an important milestone in the evolution of eco-conscious luxury in the Caribbean and South America.

The project, designed by the acclaimed architectural firm M|L Muller Diseño Arquitectonico, promises to set new standards for sustainable luxury in the region. Leveraging the eco- friendly and innovative capabilities of CLT, the hotel will combine world-class architectural design with a commitment to environmental stewardship.

“This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the evolution of sustainable luxury hospitality,” said Joshua Dias, Founder & CEO of Enso Innovations and Global VP Development for SHS “By utilizing Mass Timber construction, we are creating a property that not only enhances Georgetown’s skyline but also aligns with global sustainability objectives. This hotel will meet the needs of global leaders, business executives, and discerning travelers, while supporting Guyana’s burgeoning economy.”

As Guyana experiences unprecedented economic growth, driven by its resource-rich industries and increasing global prominence, the need for premium accommodations is at an all-time high. This new hotel will feature luxurious guest rooms and suites, signature dining experiences, and state-of-the-art facilities, catering to a diverse audience that includes diplomats, business leaders, and leisure travelers.

The partnership between Blazon Hotels, Enso Innovations, and CMEI underscores a shared vision of innovation and sustainable development. By incorporating cutting-edge construction methods and materials, the project exemplifies a commitment to reducing environmental impact without compromising on luxury or quality.

This announcement signals a pivotal step in establishing Georgetown as a hub for sustainable and world-class hospitality, positioning the city as a preferred destination for global business and leisure. [Press Release]
