Gansevoort Set for Dominican Opening

Gansevoort Hotel Group will officially open its latest oceanfront resort – Gansevoort Playa Imbert – on the Dominican Republic’s north coast on Dec. 15.

The hotel will feature 48 suites comprised of one- and two-bedroom lofts, three-bedroom apartments with private plunge pools and terraces, and a collection of four-bedroom penthouses. Each penthouse offers a private rooftop Jacuzzi. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer seascapes from every guestroom, while interiors provide kitchens, walk-in showers, custom bathtubs and natural stone finishes.

A three-tiered cascading infinity pool overlooks Playa Imbert’s crescent-shaped beach. A second, adults-only pool will open spring 2015. Dining at Baia Lounge, now open to the public, features Mediterranean specialties and Asian-inspired fare. Downstairs, La Cantina Wine + Cigar Cellar offers wines from around the world and a stocked humidor in an underground setting.

Rates at Gansevoort Playa Imbert range from $595 per night to $5,000 per night, including breakfast for two and transfers from and to Puerto Plata Airport.
