Minsk Marriott Hotel to open in the modern capital in early 2016, says Marriott International…

Marriott Hotels has announced the opening of Minsk Marriott Hotel in early 2016, as the first five-star internationally rated hotel in Belarus.

A signature Marriott greatroom lobby will welcome guests to the new hotel, which will encompass a fresh and contemporary style. Many of its 217 well-appointed suites and guest rooms will boast panoramic riverside views and balconies while guests looking to sample the hotel’s exceptional dining experiences will be spoilt for choice with an array of venues including a homely Mediterranean restaurant with open kitchen, outdoor hunting restaurant, summer terrace, café, and a rum bar offering a wide range of exclusive rums.

The property will feature a total of 940 square metres of meeting space for both corporate and social events. Facilities will include eight flexible conference rooms and ballroom space that can accommodate up to 400 people, along with a multifunctional space for collaboration, workshops and private meetings for those looking for a bespoke meeting experience.  In addition, Marriott’s Meetings Imagined program provides new opportunities and inspiration for event coordinators and meeting planners along with an online service that keeps guests in touch with guest relation managers 24/7.

This project, a cooperation between Qatar and Belarus, started in June 2012 and has now entered its final stage of construction. The unique falcon-shaped design was inspired by the logo of the owning company; the falcon is the national bird of Qatar and a symbol of force and courage throughout the Middle East, where falconry is a traditional sport and part of the cultural heritage.

Interior design was imagined by Belarusian and Lithuanian specialists. The hotel’s general contractor Magnus Group chose several different companies and artists to work on our interiors during the construction.

The project of Multifunctional complex was designed by Varabyeu Partners. It says, “The Project includes construction of four parts of the complex, namely a Hotel, a Sports Center with retail stores, a Racket Club and a multi-level Parking. All the buildings are interconnected by walkways and, along with the Hotel, are located under the same roof, which resembles a hover falcon – the Sports Club logo of the Qatar Armed Forces.”
