Mónika Infante Henríquez, CEO of Aerodom, the Vinci Airports concession in Santo Domingo, announced the start of construction of a 150-room hotel on the grounds of the Las Americas International Airport. Las Americas is the country’s second-largest airport in traffic volume, only after Punta Cana International.
A press release from Aerodom reveals the US$22 million investment in the Holiday Inn Santo Domingo Airport. The five-story hotel will be within walking distance from the airport terminal. 9,000 square meters of construction are planned for the new hotel. The hotel will feature restaurants and bar, terraces, co-working space, a gym, swimming pool, business center, flexible meeting rooms and parking.
The rooms will have two views: towards the air terminal and the Caribbean Sea. Business travelers are targeted. There are spaces for business meetings and training programs.
Mónika Infante Henríquez, CEO of Aerodom, said that the hotel will be able to accommodate passengers in transit and crews, “encouraging more local and international airlines to establish their hubs in the country.”
Carlos Tejera, president of TVP Management, said: “This new hotel project adds tremendous value to Santo Domingo Airport, to the city of Santo Domingo and to our portfolio of projects. Major cities have one or more airport hotels, contributing to the dynamism of air traffic.”
TVP Management developed the Homewood Suites by Hilton Santo Domingo in the capital city.
