Opened in 2014, Gansevoort Dominican Republic is forecasted to transform Playa Imbert like the brand transformed areas of New York City and the Turks and Caicos. The Dominican Republic’s gorgeous north coast is better known for its all-inclusives, but here is a hip alternative: suites with state-of-the-art kitchens and natural stone finishes and a restaurant helmed by Giancarlo Flori, whose credits include the Michelin three-starred El Bulli restaurant in Spain. If Gansevoort’s pair of New York hotels is any indication, expect this resort to be synonymous with celebrity.
