The Dream Hotel Group is coming to the Caribbean.

The hotel brand has announced plans to open two Dominican Republic hotels in the coming years, including The Time Dominican Republic and Unscripted Dominican Republic.

The Time, which will be the company’s first Caribbean location, will be an “upper upscale” resort hotel with beachfront guestrooms and suites, multiple dining and nightlife venues and a spa.

Unscripted will feature “spaces,” guest rooms and suites, along with multiple food and beverage outlets.

The 30-year-old company operates hotels around the world under the Dream, Time, Chatwal and Unscripted brands.

Both hotels are slated to debut in 2019.

“We signed more new hotel deals in the last six months than any other year in the company’s history,” said Dream Hotel Group chairman Sant Singh Chatwal. “After significant investment and repositioning from ownership to hotel brand and management, Dream Hotel Group now boasts its strongest portfolio ever, and we look forward to continuing to build on our success and expand our brands at a rapid rate.”
