Hotel Collection International LLC
Managing Partner
A hospitality development and investment company: distinctive hotels, resorts and branded residences across the Dominican Republic, carried in house from the land to the day the hotel opens.
Twenty-five years, one instinct.
Edward De Valle II is an entrepreneur, investor, and developer working across real estate, media, and hospitality in the Caribbean and the Americas.
He comes from a distinguished Cuban and Spanish family: his great-grandfather owned El Avance, once Cuba’s most influential newspaper, and his great-great-grandfather, Dr. Alfredo Zayas y Alfonso, served as President of Cuba from 1921 to 1925.
Twenty-five years later he has structured and commercialized more than USD $20 billion in residential, commercial, and hotel projects, and become one of the most influential figures in Caribbean hospitality development.
The instinct has stayed the same throughout. See the value in a place before the market does, then build the structure that lets capital reach it.
