The project is the first in Duarte province and the third in the Dominican Republic, to be inaugurated by the end of 2026.
San Francisco de Macorís Municipality, Duarte Province, Dominican Republic, March 2023. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchise, announces its first La Quinta hotel in the municipality of San Francisco de Macorís, Duarte province and the brand’s third in the Dominican Republic. The hotel will be located next to Premium Residence, a housing project that will include a cultural center, movie theaters, shopping malls, an amphitheater and a state-of-the-art private clinic.
In the presence of the Vice President of the Republic, Raquel Peña, and distinguished personalities from the business and government sectors, shareholder partners, clients and associates, businessman Franklin Romero announced the details of the hotel and the urban development project.
“San Francisco de Macorís is advancing by leaps and bounds towards its full development, and today we are pleased that God is allowing us to contribute to this development with the beginning of this great project,”
said Franklin Romero.
Engineer Ivanov Collado explained that the La Quinta by Wyndham hotel will be developed within the Premium Residence ecological partner project. The total investment of the project will exceed 12.4 billion pesos, generating more than 1,500 indirect jobs during its execution, and some 700 permanent jobs; being developed in a total area of 560,000 square meters, located on Antonio Guzmán Fernández Avenue, a few meters from the Circunvalación Avenue, a work being executed by the government of President Luis Abinader in that municipality.
“La Quinta by Wyndham hotels and resorts will attract domestic business travelers, Dominican residents and non-resident family members traveling for pleasure. This hotel and its collateral services will place the Duarte province center stage and create a new base of confidence for investors interested in developing projects in the region. In addition, its geographical location will serve as a reference point towards the new entrance of the province, activating the new businesses that will be developed in the area. With an investment of more than US$15 million, the project will be backed by a financial structure developed in conjunction with established partners in the field of capital, investment and asset management,” said Edward De Valle II, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts representative for the Dominican Republic.
The hotel consists of a 4-story building, lobby area, shared work spaces, restaurant, swimming pool, health and wellness center, and a rooftop suitable for outdoor events. The hotel will be built in stages, with 126 rooms in the first phase and 284 in the final phase. The rooms will be offered in double and single occupancy, and 12 connected family units for extended stays. It will have a large parking area and access for buses. Hotel rates will start at approximately USD$90.00 p/p + taxes.
The project will be managed by the law firm Tupete & Estrella, architecture and construction by Alpha 2000 and interior design by Saia Arquitectura.
