This was probably one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff treat you like royalty. The property is situated in a very historic and beautiful part of Santo Domingo. The gym and pool are modern. The restaurant on the hotel serves delicious food. I would strongly recommend booking your Santo Domingo stay at this hotel.

Lovely historic hotel. Front reception staff is friendly and was super helpful with my Spanish being minimal. This is our favorite place to stay in Santo Domingo.Its a luxurious respite in a quiet, historic area you must see. One constructive thing is I think they need to pay more attention to the pool. Several times per day someone should clean the debris from leaves. This is a small thing and 9/10 they get it right.
