Hodelpa Gran Almirante Hotel & Casino

The undisputed grand dame of hospitality in the Cibao Valley. Gran Almirante is where global tobacco luminaries, blenders, and connoisseurs gather during the annual ProCigar festival. Its expansive open-air courtyard (Patio Don Alfonso) is the premier spot in town to enjoy a fine cigar alongside aged Dominican rum, while the hotel’s full-service business infrastructure and secure upscale location make it Santiago’s best overall choice.

Best Suited For:
ProCigar Festival Attendees & Cigar Aficionados
Corporate Executives & VIP Travelers
Couples & Luxury Seekers
Cigar Aficionado & Factory Visit Convenience

Ideal home base for cigar trips: only an 18-minute drive to Tamboril and 12 minutes to Victor Sinclair / La Aurora zones. Cigar smoking is welcomed in dedicated outdoor courtyard areas and the patio lounge. The hotel frequently hosts private cigar industry tastings.
