Dominica’s Silver Beach Project to Join Autograph Collection

By: - January 11th, 2017

Dominica’s Silver Beach Resort and Spa project will be part of the Marriott Autograph Collection.

The in-development 200-room luxury resort at Picard Beach in Dominica is being designed by Arkiplan International, who designed Dubai’s One & Only The Palm resort.

“We believe that Dominica has so much to offer,” said Bojan Kumer, Marriott’s Director for Development of the Caribbean and Latin American. “This hotel could be the gateway to the most memorable experience that no other Caribbean island can offer to our guests.”

The project has tapped Trust Hospitality to manage the resort.
