Sonesta International Hotels has executed a franchise agreement for the new construction of a hotel in La Romana, Dominican Republic. In addition to two other properties currently under construction (The James Larimer City and Sonesta ES Suites Jarabacoa), this third Sonesta property expands the brand’s presence in the Dominican Republic.
The new MOD Collection by Sonesta will be delivered in two phases, with building one opening fall 2027 and the second building in fall 2028.
“We are excited to see Sonesta’s expansion throughout the LATAM region, specifically the Dominican Republic, as we now have several new properties in development,” said Keith Pierce, co-CEO, Sonesta. “MOD Collection by Sonesta debuted in 2023 with the intention of appealing to a range of full-service hotel owners, minimizing conversion timelines, simplifying brand standards, emphasizing the inclusion of local influences in the property design and embracing the local reputation in the naming. We are thrilled to see the brand continue to grow, and will be proud to have it join the nine MOD hotels currently open and operating across the Americas.”
The new property will offer 168 guestrooms within La Romana on the southeastern coast, a top destination home to luxury resorts, world-class golf courses, the village of Altos de Chavón and Caribbean beaches.
