Construction of Holiday Inn Santo Domingo Airport hotel announced

Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XII (Aerodom) & VINCI Airports announced the construction, on the premises of the Las Americas International Airport (AILA), of the Holiday Inn Santo Domingo Airport hotel, which will be developed by TVP Management.

The new 5-level, 150-room property will entail an investment of over US$22 million in 9,000 square meters of construction, which will be carried out by TVP Management RD and Constructora Sofisa, S.A.

The Holiday Inn Santo Domingo Airport will be the first hotel integrated to an airport in the country, and will offer hospitality services of the highest quality. It will be within walking distance of the airport terminal.

The hotel will have a bar and restaurants, terraces, coworking space, gym, swimming pool, business center, flexible meeting rooms and parking, according to a press release.

The rooms of the new hotel will have two views: towards the air terminal and towards the Caribbean Sea, so the façade will have large windows that will allow guests to enjoy the surroundings. Its clientele will be made up mainly of passengers who take very early flights, who have missed a connection, as well as airline personnel.

The lodging facility will also attract business travelers by providing space for business meetings, training programs, among others.

“We are delighted to announce the construction of this important hotel together with TVP Management and Constructora Sofisa, which brings us closer to the goal of serving as a true hub for the Americas capable of welcoming transit passengers and crews, encouraging more local and international airlines to establish their hubs in the country,” said Mónika Infante, CEO of Aerodom.

Carlos Tejera, president of TVP Management, indicated that, “we are very excited about this new hotel project that definitely adds tremendous value to the AILA, to the city of Santo Domingo and to our portfolio of projects.”

“The world’s major cities have one or more airport hotels, contributing to the dynamism of air traffic. We thank the executives of Aerodom for the trust and the time we have dedicated to reach the point of announcing this important hotel investment,” he said.

Cristiano Gonçalves, Regional VP of Development for Latin America for IHG Hotels & Resorts, said, “We are excited to expand our offerings in Santo Domingo with the legacy of one of our most recognized and beloved brands, synonymous worldwide with consistent, quality accommodations. The new Holiday Inn property will contribute to more tourists visiting this beautiful land that has proven to be one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the region”.

Likewise, the Minister of Tourism, David Collado, welcomed the construction of the new Holiday Inn Santo Domingo Airport and expressed that the new investments are evidence of the confidence that tourism continues to generate in the Dominican Republic, which is already an international benchmark.
