Known for his great eye for color, Markham Roberts will be bringing to Tortuga Bay, the boutique hotel of the Puntacana Resort & Club, the inventive combination of layered patterns and colors that have lead him to be known as a creator of “the very definition of chic.”
Roger Belleti, general manager of Tortuga Bay, said during a press conference during the Dominican Annual Travel Exchange held in Punta Cana at the Barcelo Bavaro Convention Center that Roberts is working closely with property owners Haydee Rainieri and Annette de la Renta, widow of fashion designer Oscar de la Renta in the renovation of the Tortuga Bay interiors.
Belletti said that they are updating the original vision of Oscar de la Renta for the Tortuga Bay boutique hotel. Remarking on de la Renta, Belletti explained that the goal is to preserve the great fashion designer’s “great taste, and his persistent first-rate vision for keeping the decor fresh, stylishly while exuding an ease and comfort in living spaces.” He said the plan is to carry the Oscar de la Renta vision forward and bring it to the next level of luxury and comfort.
The hotel will close for the renovations on 15 July and reopen on 1 November, announced Alberto Abreu, general manager.
