The Sunborn floating hotel arrived in Gibraltar this morning, June 11th.
This picture, taken at 08:00, shows the Sunborn on a large transporter ship just off the Detached Mole.
The floating hotel will now spend some
time in the dry docks undergoing some final works before being moved to
Ocean Village where it will serve as a luxury hotel.
The floating hotel will feature a panoramic restaurant with sun terraces and a
glamorous outdoor bar and lounge as well as leisure and event facilities and entertainment spaces.
Comprehensive
banqueting, meeting and conference venues complete the impressive list
of on-board facilities.
The Minister for Tourism Neil Costa said:
“We are delighted that Sunborn
has chosen Gibraltar for their 5-star plus project, which will create
many jobs locally, and we believe it will become an icon and attraction
for Gibraltar.”
He also said that the 5-star plus hotel and conference centre will be a
significant addition to Gibraltar’s hospitality offering, targeting
specifically the growing demand of luxury hotel and convention
facilities.
Brian Stevendale, Director at Ocean Village, said:
“We are very excited
about this opportunity for Gibraltar. We recognize this is a massive
investment.”
