Planners Dream of Five Star Hotel for Green Zone
"No sewer system, no power, no problem. U.S. officials in Iraq are thinking ahead about how to create a "high-end buffer" zone around the highly protected U.S. embassy, the AP reports. At the top of the list: a five-star hotel.
When you have $1 billion hanging out there and 1,000 employees lying around, you kind of want to know who your neighbors are. You want to influence what happens in your neighborhood over time," said Navy Capt. Thomas Karnowski, who led the team that created the development plan.
Karnowski said a deal already has been completed for Marriott International Inc. to build a hotel in the Green Zone. He also said a possible $1 billion investment could come from MBI International, a conglomerate that focuses on hotels and resorts and is led by Saudi Sheikh Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber."
