Homewood Suites by Hilton, which is part of Hilton’s “all suites” portfolio, inaugurated its 500th property and its first hotel in the Caribbean region, Homewood Suites by Hilton Santo Domingo, with the presence of President Danilo Medina.
The hotel is located on Winston Churchill Avenue, number 107 of the National District.
“A thriving metropolis and capital of the Dominican Republic, as well as the largest city in the Caribbean, Santo Domingo, continues to be the top destination in the region,” said Jorge Giannattasio, senior vice president, and chief operating officer for the Caribbean and Latin America.
Designed for people looking to travel on their terms, Homewood Suites by Hilton offers its visitors the comfort of home, whether traveling for work or pleasure. The first hotel of the brand in the Caribbean offers 145 new rooms, contributing in turn to the growth of local tourism.
