Starwood Hotels Debuts Its Four Points by Sheraton Brand in The Dominican Republic
Stamford, CT – October 3, 2012 – Powering ahead in key international
markets, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) today
announced it has returned to the Dominican Republic with the landmark debut of
its Four Points by Sheraton brand in Punta Cana. Four Points by Sheraton
Puntacana Village opens today in a prime location, just steps from Punta Cana
International Airport (PUJ). It is the first of two hotels Starwood will
open this year in the Dominican Republic with its partner Grupo PUNTACANA, and
will be followed by The Westin Puntacana Resort in late 2013.
“We are thrilled to introduce our fast-growing Four Points by Sheraton brand to
the Dominican Republic, right at the heart of the bustling PUNTACANA Village
development,” said Brian McGuinness, Senior Vice President of Specialty Select
Brands for Starwood. “Four Points Puntacana Village offers travelers a
relaxed atmosphere in a stylish setting along with all the amenities they love
in one of the world’s most popular island destinations.”
The newly constructed hotel features 124 stylish and comfortable guest rooms,
an outdoor pool and access to five miles of private beach. Four Points by
Sheraton Puntacana Village also provides 1,614 square feet of state-of-the-art
meeting facilities, a 24-hour business center, a fully equipped fitness
facility and full-service dining. Guests can stroll to the shops, restaurants
and salons of Galerias PUNTACANA within the Village, and hop on the hotel’s
complimentary shuttle to visit Six Senses Spa, the PUNTACANA Ecological Reserve
and a choice of world-class golf courses located at PUNTACANA Resort &
Club.
“Grupo PUNTACANA is proud to partner with Starwood Hotels to open the first
Four Points in the Dominican Republic, soon to be followed by the island’s
first Westin resort,” said Alberto Abreu, Executive Director of Hospitality for
Grupo PUNTACANA. “Four Points by Sheraton Puntacana Village offers travelers
the opportunity to enjoy style, comfort and affordability in a terrific
location on the island.”

About Grupo PUNTACANA
The development of Grupo PUNTACANA dates back to 1969 when Dominican
businessman Frank R. Rainieri and Theodore W. Kheel, the prominent New York
attorney and labor mediator, created a partnership to construct a resort and
real estate community that respects the natural habitat of Punta Cana while
offering a world-class vacation experience. Maintaining a dedication to
sustainable tourism, PUNTACANA Resort & Club has since grown to encompass
over 26 square miles and now includes Tortuga Bay; Six Senses Spa; the
PUNTACANA Ecological Foundation; four residential communities (Corales,
Hacienda, Marina and Arrecife); a full-service marina; nine restaurants; a
shopping village; 45 holes of championship golf and Punta Cana International
Airport, a modern facility that incorporates innovative and eco-friendly
design. In 1997, Julio Iglesias and Oscar de la Renta joined the Group as
co-investors and have made PUNTACANA Resort & Club their home.
Currently, Punta Cana is the most highly visited Caribbean destination and is
easily accessible from all over the globe.
