Grupo GDV is a privately led investment and hospitality group focused on the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean. We create and advance hotel projects by combining market knowledge, structured capital, brand relationships and the right partners.
The Group
Our work begins with the destination: how it is evolving, what the market needs, and how a brand, an operator and a plan can work together to create lasting value.
We believe successful hotels require both ambition and discipline: a compelling idea, the right partners, informed decisions, and the persistence to carry a vision forward. Grupo GDV raises and structures the capital, secures the franchise and oversees the asset as its owner.
Think long termBuild places and partnerships designed to remain relevant.
Respect the destinationLet local character inform the project.
Align the right peopleStrong projects depend on strong partnerships.
Execute with disciplineVision creates value only when it is delivered.
Create broader impactDevelopment should generate opportunity beyond the property itself.
