Plans to build a new hotel in St George received a big boost last week after a law was passed in the House of Assembly. The Park Hyatt (St. George’s) Resort Act 2008 will allow developers Bazarian International to seek financing for a Park Hyatt resort on the site of the former Club Med.

The law gives Bazarian International 5 years to get the hotel operational or lose the right to develop the site. The hotel is expected to open in 2012.
