Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world's largest hotel franchising company with approximately 9,100 hotels across more than 95 countries, today announced the opening of Wyndham Garden Montecristi, the first Wyndham Garden in the Dominican Republic.
The new hotel features 60 rooms on four levels with ample parking, a swimming pool, a restaurant, a lobby bar with co-working spaces and a gym featuring new training mirrors by Tonal. This project is part of the 18 Wyndham Hotels & Resorts select and limited-service category hotels to be developed by Grupo De Valle and its partners by the end of 2027, and came about as a result of the overwhelming success of its sister project, a Super 8 in Manzanillo, which opened in December 2022. Both hotels are located in the same region of Montecristi with a wealth of natural and historical wonders for visitors to explore, making them the perfect addition to Wyndham's growing global portfolio and award-winning Wyndham Rewards loyalty program.
"These newest openings are indicative of the long-term potential we see in the Dominican Republic and reinforce Wyndham's continued commitment to bringing our globally recognized brands to key markets around the globe. Introducing the Wyndham Garden brand in the Dominican Republic delivers on our promise of making hotel travel possible for all" said Doug Smith Development VP, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
The new hotel complements Wyndham’s existing presence in the country, with more than 14 hotels from Ramada by Wyndham, Super 8 by Wyndham, Trademark Collection and Registry Collection, bringing travellers even more options to experience the country. Present at the grand opening was the President of the Republic, Luis Abinader. The head of state reinforced the importance of the tourism sector in Montecristi and stressed the need for continued development and jobs in the space.
“We believe national travelers will continue seeking unique experiences and destinations within the Dominican Republic. Our expanded presence in the Dominican Republic will enable us to welcome new generations of guests to enjoy all that Wyndham has to offer," said Edward De Valle, CEO of Grupo De Valle, Dominican Republics' leading hotel and real estate development company.
