This property will house at least 80 suites featuring wood-like floors and modular kitchens with granite countertops. 

It will offer a range of facilities, including eight outdoor swimming pools, tennis and padel courts, electric vehicle charging stations, BBQ and fire pits, a children’s play area, a game room, and a spa/fitness centre.

Sonesta chief development officer Brian Quinn said “We are proud to announce the execution of this important deal, securing five Sonesta ES Suites agreements in the Dominican Republic set to open through 2031.

“With the construction of these hotels, Sonesta continues its expansion in the LATAM region to meet rising consumer and franchisee demand in the region for upscale apartment-style accommodations.”

This announcement follows the opening of Royal Sonesta Washington, DC Capitol Hill in the US, which was refurbished by RMR Group, last year.
