Marriott International continues to grow its JW Marriott brand with the opening of the 150-room JW Marriott Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, the brand’s first hotel in the Caribbean.
The hotel is located in the upscale Piantini financial district inside the Blue Mall, which features several fine dining restaurants and high-end shops such as Cartier, Carolina Herrera, and Louis Vuitton.
“Santo Domingo remains one of the most vibrant countries for new development in the Caribbean,” says Craig S. Smith, president of the Caribbean and Latin America for Marriott. “This beautiful hotel brings the highest levels of accommodations and service to the Dominican Republic and is a great addition to the brand’s growing global portfolio.”
The hotel houses VERTYGO 101 lounge-the Dominican Republic’s first “floating” restaurant and bar, which features a glass floor terrace 101 feet above street level, as well as Winston Grill & Patio, a sophisticated fine dining restaurant.

The hotel’s presidential suite will include a bathtub with light therapy, massage, and hydrotherapy. The hotel also offers nine event spaces totaling more than 2,938 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, including the 1,158-square-foot ballroom.
