So Beautiful in the Colonial side of town. I was ther for business but, I was left speechless. The property is absoulutely beautiful! .. Exposed walls, wrought iron works. Old beautiful wood doors. So romantic ! The personnel was so amazingly accomodating. Loved Fernando the Bartender with his gleaming white smile! Ready to serve you at any given time. The... More

I love to stay in this hotel when coming on the weekends for social events. is gorgeus, romatic and perfect for something different. breakfast is very good too. the only problem is sometimes the parking and to get to city on regular weeks day due to transit.

My husband and I recently spent the week traveling throughout the DR. We flew in and out of Santo Domingo and stayed here one night – and were totally saddened to ever have to leave. This must be, hands down, the best place to stay in the city. We had had a long day of travel and some rental-car fiascos... More

We stayed for several nights meeting our son who was in the Peace Corps. The rooms were large and clean. We loved the breakfast buffet-lots of choices and even pancakes! The pool is clean and enjoyable. Very near the freeway so can be noisy, but that is life in the DR!

Just about everything is excellent at this hotel and the restaurant. To relax on pool or inner courts is highly recommended. Ideal place for visit of ancient city. Had chosen hotel to relax prior to take departure of cruise. Result very satisfying.

From the moment you enter the centuries-old, beautifully restored building, you are whisked away into down-to-earth luxury and ambiance. The rooms are exceedingly comfortable and tastefully decorated. Plus, the food, service, and courtyard/swimming pool feel like a blend of classic Europe with a Latin American flavor. Could not have been happier. One of the best hotels I've ever had the... More
