Hilton Garden Inn Brand Debuts in the Dominican Republic

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC—Hilton announced the opening of Hilton Garden Inn La Romana, marking the Hilton Garden Inn brand’s first hotel in the Dominican Republic. The 130-room hotel offers rooms, a pool, and flexible meeting space with an outdoor terrace.

“As Hilton continues its expansion in the Dominican Republic and across the broader Caribbean, we are excited to welcome travelers with a brand-new hotel option in the highly sought-after destination of La Romana,” said Jorge Giannattasio, senior vice president and head of operations, Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton.

Hilton Garden Inn La Romana is located between the resort area of Punta Cana and the capital city of Santo Domingo, with Punta Cana International Airport located approximately 50 miles away and less than nine miles from La Romana International Airport and four miles from La Romana Cruise Terminal. Hilton Garden Inn La Romana guests can use nearby adventures, including a shuttle service to Catalina Island and snorkeling trails, beaches, watersports, boating, shopping, golf, ziplining, and more.

Reflective of the region’s natural landscape, the property is surrounded by gardens with neutral tones across interior furnishings. The hotel’s 130 guestrooms have balconies.

Hilton Garden Inn La Romana has a variety of onsite dining options. The Garden Grill serves daily breakfast, and has local and international cuisine for lunch and dinner a la carte, while The Garden Bar offers drinks and light snacks. For those on the go, The Shop, a 24-hour grab-and-go retail space, offers a mix of options. The hotel also has an infinity pool and a 24-hour fitness center.

“With more than 970 hotels worldwide, and Hilton’s largest pipeline in the Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton Garden Inn continues to showcase remarkable growth in the region. Today, we are thrilled to bring the brand’s hallmark open, inviting atmosphere and best-in-class service to the Dominican Republic,” said Alan Roberts, brand leader, Hilton Garden Inn.

For meetings and social events, the hotel has 9,000 square feet of meeting and event space across three venues with a capacity for up to 400 people. These include an outdoor oceanside terrace for up to 250 attendees and a ballroom with natural light.
