Dream Hotel Group steps up expansion in Latin America

Dream Hotel Group signed three new hotels in Mexico and Central America. The Unscripted Belize is slated to open in late 2018 while the Dream Belize and Unscripted Tulum are set to open in 2020. 

Unscripted Belize—the first of the two new Belize properties—will have 24 beachfront cabanas near the Caribbean Sea. Belize's second upcoming property—Dream Belize—will have 260 rooms. These will include 100 guestrooms and suites, 120 hotel condos and 40 branded residences. 

Both properties are owned and developed by Luke Chadwick, and will be developed in the Kanantik Belize master plan community north of Placencia and near the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary jaguar preserve. Design firm Gensler will lead the architectural design of the two new hotels.   

The Unscripted brand will make its first foray into Mexico with its upcoming hotel in Tulum. The property was developed by Capital Vertical Grupo Empresarial subsidiary Vertical Hospitality will have 97 guestrooms.

The Dream Hotels brand is on track to have a seven-hotel portfolio in U.S. cities by 2020. The group has another Dream hotel set to open in Doha, Qatar this month as its first in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the company's newest brand, Unscripted Hotels, is on track to have three hotels in the U.S. by 2020. Another Unscripted hotel is slated to open the Dream Hotel Group's first European property in Birmingham, England.
