Eden Hotel project increases the number of rooms from 96 to 226 without permission
Over the past years, there have been many illegal construction works and those that do not comply with their licenses in Da Nang city. For example, 150sq.m construction works were built without licenses at the Bach Dang Hotel Complex (No.50 Bach Dang, Hai Chau 1 ward, Hai Chau district, Da Nang). The Seven Sea Hotel project (Vo Nguyen Giap, Son Tra district, invested by Ly Bang Service and Investment Limited Company) was licensed to build one basement and 18 floors, but the investor added one more floor (making it 19 floors) and put it into operation by the end of 2017. The Eden hotel project invested by Minh Thuy Limited Company was licensed to build one basement and 22 floors with 96 rooms. However, it raised the number of rooms to 226 without permission. The Muong Thanh hotel and Son Tra luxury department complex changed the function of floors without following the license as well.
According to the municipal Department of Construction, the regulation detailing responsibility of each authorized level aims to strengthen responsibility in the management of construction order, mainly among People’s Committees at district and commune/ward levels. It seeks to avoid blaming the person responsible in detecting wrongful and illegal construction works as well as the leading person in order management in the city.
