Representative of the consortium comprised by Hyatt chain and Liberman Group, Marcelo Graniero, questioned the transparency of the tender process and said that the city council "is going to have another failure, like Carmitel II", with regards to the previous and controversial tender concluded by Ehrlich administration. Graniero commented that none of the other three firms interested in the tender (Codere, Tsakos and Pestana) showed to have the economic and financial support demanded by the Council.
