The new hotel project is the third of the group in the country, which has bet on investing in the Dominican Republic, adding to its portfolio a new lodging property in addition to the Real Intercontinental hotel and the Quality Hotel Real Aeropuerto Santo Domingo.
The Courtyard Real by Marriott Santo Domingo will be located on Porfirio Herrera Street, corner Freddy Prestol Castillo, Piantini sector, Distrito Nacional, sharing the area where the Real Intercontinental is located, so the group will strengthen its presence in the business center of the Dominican capital.
