By: Alexander Britell

It’s one of the fastest-growing hotel collections in the Caribbean right now: BWH Hotels, which is at it again with a new project now underway in the Dominican Republic, Caribbean Journal Invest has learned. 

The new La Estancia, BW Premier Collection, has officially broken ground in the increasingly popular destination of La Romana in the Dominican Republic (one that now has new nonstop American Airlines flights from Miami). 

The new project will have 60 rooms cross four floors, with another 40 keys also on the way.

It will complement the existing La Estancia Golf Resort, which was created by designer Pete Dye. Other amenities will include the Terrazza 19 Bar, a cigar bar, a “golfer’s bar,” a new gym, a pool and tennis courts will also be added. 

“BWH Hotels is proud to welcome La Estancia and the Dominican Republic into our global portfolio,” said Brad LeBlanc, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer at BWH Hotels. “This stunning, upscale destination will offer guests exceptional service and an unparalleled experience amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Dominican Republic. With extraordinary panoramic views, an 18-hole golf course featuring a rolling landscape near the Chavón River, and the dramatic Tanamá ravine, La Estancia is thoughtfully designed to harmonize recreation and relaxation in a magnificent natural setting. It will be a true gem for travelers seeking both tranquility and adventure.”

The property is set near several golf courses, including those at the nearby Casa de Campo resort.

BW Premier Collection is a group of what the company calls “upscale, independent hotels” focusing on service and character. The idea is to provide a “premium experience” while maintaining the flexibility of staying independent. 

“La Estancia, BW Premier Collection is an important step towards sustainable development in the Dominican Republic and La Romana, and we are proud to be a part of it through our affiliation with BWH Hotels. This project represents a transformative opportunity for the region, offering a unique alternative to the all-inclusive hotel model,” said Luis Andres Olivares, La Estancia’s owner and developer. “Situated within one of the finest golf resorts in the country and recognized by Golf Digest as one of the ‘10 Best’ in the Dominican Republic, this hotel will cater to travelers seeking quality and authenticity. Our collaboration with BWH Hotels underscores our commitment to advancing the progress and well-being of the Dominican Republic, creating new opportunities for sustainable tourism and regional growth.”
