The SoCo Hotel in Barbados is set to open its doors Aug. 15, according to Tropical Sky, which will exclusively feature the property.

The Art Deco-inspired hotel, which is located at the beginning of the South Coast Board Walk near Bridgetown, will have a total of 24 rooms.

“Customers are increasingly demanding higher quality as well as exceptional value, and the island has needed to respond to this,” said Mike Collins, managing director of Tropical Sky. “The SoCo Hotel is set to meet these demands, and we are delighted to be the driving force behind this.”

Tropical Sky is based in the United Kingdom.

“It’s a very exciting project for us,” Collins said.
