Haiti’s New Royal Oasis Hotel Officially Opens in Petion-Ville

By Alexander Britell

The Royal Oasis Hotel in Haiti has officially opened its doors in Port-au-Prince’s Petion-Ville neighbourhood.


The five-star property, which is a project of Spain-based Occidential Hotels & Resorts, is located on a three-acre site in Port-au-Prince’s Petion-Ville residential neighbourhood. It was developed by Jerry Tardieu.

It includes 128 rooms and suites, featuring a rooftop infinity pool and art gallery. The hotel is located at 115 Rue Panamericaine.

It’s the first of several major brands entering the Haitian hotel sector, along with Best Western, and another Spain-based company, NH Hotels Group, which is slated to unveil the renovated NH El Rancho in February.

The Best Western had previously been set to open by the end of 2012, but it now appears the property will debut in early 2013.

The hotel features five restaurants: La Villa, Le Lounge, Les Terrasses, Bella Vista and Lounge Club Royal, each of which have bars.

Occidental said that the hotel would open a 12,000-square-foot convention centre facility for summits and conferences in 2013.

While the hotel’s Web site did not list any availability in the month of December, a three-night stay in January at one of the hotel’s Superior rooms cost $874, or about $291 per night.

It is Occidental’s 13th hotel in the region. According to data from the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, the hotel will support close to 200 staff in Haiti.
