Sonesta to brand hotels in Dominican Republic

Sonesta International Hotels Corporation announces the signing of a deal that calls for opening five Sonesta ES Suites hotels in the Dominican Republic through 2031. Sonesta joins the many international chains that are booking their customers into Dominican hotels.

The corporation announces that its first property, the Sonesta ES Suites Elements Jarabacoa is scheduled to open in the first in the first trimester of 2026.

The Sonesta ES Suites Elements Jarabacoa is described by the chain as an upscale, extended-stay hotel, in La Vega province. The company says guests will be able to enjoy the annual flower festival celebration and the many natural attractions. Jarabacoa is bordered by four large rivers: the Yaque del Norte, the Jimenoa, the Guanajuma, and the Baiguate.

The hotel will seek to attract tourists coming to enjoy the outdoor adventures in the nearby Armando Bermudez National Park, home to the highest peak in the Caribbean, the Pico Duarte, Jarabacoa Eco Paragliders RD, and Cafe Colao activities.

“We are proud to announce the execution of this important deal, securing five Sonesta ES Suites agreements in the Dominican Republic set to open through 2031,” said Brian Quinn, Sonesta’s chief development officer. “With the construction of these hotels, Sonesta continues its expansion in the Latin American region to meet rising consumer and franchisee demand in the region for upscale apartment-style accommodations.”

Sonesta ES Suites Elements Jarabacoa will offer a minimum of 80 suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, imported wood-like floors, and modular kitchens with granite countertops. The hotel will have an F&B offering, eight outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, padel courts, electric vehicle charging stations, BBQ and fire pits, a kids play area, a game room, and a spa/fitness center, as well as a three-meal restaurant and bar, Casa Club, a French bistro.

The five Sonesta ES Suites properties are franchised by Almanzar Marte Ingenieros & Arquitectos, a real estate developer with more than 14 years of experience. They have developed, constructed, and delivered over 100 residential units in Santo Domingo.
