Hilton Hotels & Resorts has opened its Hilton Garden Inn La Romana hotel in the Dominican Republic.

The 130-room hotel was opened in a collaboration between Hilton Hotels and Riverhome Capital, whose main shareholder is Dominican former Major League player Edwin Encarnación.

Spread on a 5,000m² property on the coast of the municipal district of La Caleta, La Romana province and located close to Central Romana, La Romana Airport and Casa de Campo, the hotel has been built with an investment of $25m and created 300 direct jobs.

The hotel’s 130 rooms are distributed on five of the seven floors of the building. It also features swimming pools, a gym, two bars and a restaurant, as well as meeting, event and multipurpose rooms and outdoor venues for corporate and social celebrations.

Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader Corona said: “This hotel has something very special, opening up the beach and the sector of La Caleta of La Romana, which for a long time was closed to the province and its visitors.

“Since private investment must always be accompanied by public infrastructure, we are working on creating them, so we are all part of this development of La Romana.”
