The best hotels Santo Domingo

Located in the heart of the business district, in a central location, this hotel is modern and offers high quality services. There are 216 rooms and a few very comfortable suites to choose from, all equipped with quality bedding and all the usual amenities (AC, TV, minibar, etc.). The Barcelo hotel has a pleasant swimming pool and a whirlpool on the terrace, a gym equipped mainly with elliptical bikes and small weights, a spa, bars and a famous Japanese restaurant.

Situated in a quiet area of the city, on the edge of Seawall, a little away from the tourist attractions, but close to the business districts, the hotel has 220 rooms with classical and pleasant decor (minibar, satellite TV). For businessmen, the Ejecutivo floor offers personalized services (business room with internet access, business-center, special lounges…). The hotel has a large swimming pool in the heart of a beautiful garden, a fitness centre and three tennis courts in the evening. The service is impeccable. Two restaurants (the Alcazar and the Cafetal, for sophisticated Italian cuisine), two bars (Marrakech and Las Palmas with orchestra in the evening) and a casino complete the whole.

The hotel belongs to the Marriott chain and benefits from a strategic location overlooking the Caribbean Sea and close to the colonial center. This complex of 355 rooms is vast: it includes bars, restaurants, swimming pool and casino opened 24 hours a day (!). This hotel, where scenes from Sydney Pollack's 1991 film Havana were filmed, is the place to be in the capital for official figures. It offers a service quite worthy of its category. No failures on a stay in this hotel, but the rates are higher. Good welcome.

Very well located, just behind the Parc de l'Independencia, this apart-hotel is an ideal option if you stay long in the capital or if you travel with family. To choose: some 5 rooms (cable television, telephone) or apartments up to people (two bedrooms, kitchen, lounge), swimming pool, restaurant of Dominican and international cuisine, room-service and change, parking, garden, and warm welcome. Wi-Fi.

If you're looking for a good, inexpensive place to stay in the capital, Residence La Fonte is the place for you. Located right in the heart of the Zona Colonial, on the famous Calle Mercedes - where you'll find many interesting restaurants and shops - these small aparthotels are very appealing. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with personal balconies and built-in kitchens; ideal if you don't want to take all your meals outside. Plus: an incredible rooftop with a breathtaking view of Santo Domingo! We recommend it!

Situated in a modern building on the Malecon, this hotel offers a relaxing stay for those who want to take advantage of the capital's attractions while unwinding. The Catalonia's strong point: the view, because from the rooms you can see the sea in a grand panorama! There's also a swimming pool and spa to relax in after a long day's sightseeing. Although some of the facilities are a little dated (notably the air-conditioning system), renovations are apparently underway, so the hotel will soon be spotless.

The hotel's ten or so rooms are organized around a central, partly shaded patio where there is a lovely pool. On the second floor, there is a solarium with a whirlpool bath and a nice dark wood bar. The rooms are spacious, elegantly decorated and comfortable. Some of the larger rooms (up to 4 people) have their own fully equipped kitchen. One of the strong points of the establishment is its copious breakfast served à la carte by the pool. A cosy and central address, in the heart of the historical center.

Located in the heart of Santo Domingo's new business district and 6.5 km from the Colonial Zone, this brand new hotel offers three unique concept restaurants, two bars and a superb spa. The Intercontinental's tower is one of the tallest in the capital and you can enjoy the commanding views of the city from the infinity pool that wraps around the^3rd floor or directly from one of the rooms (we recommend the top floors).

This charming hotel, part of The Oxo House group, stands on the side of an ancient ^16th-century house. The adjoining part has been renovated and the garden enhanced, bringing contemporary comfort to this historic site. Old bricks, marble floor tiles, four-poster beds and mosaics will seduce you. On-site catering and four types of breakfast menu. Teak roof terrace with cocktail bar, sun loungers and whirlpool bath for a moment of relaxation overlooking the city's rooftops. Private parking 5 minutes' walk away.

This hotel does not lack charm. At 300 meters from the main square, the 450 year old colonial architectural style is mixed with a touch of modernity at the Mosquito Boutique Hotel. A very good place to discover the capital. Impossible not to mention here the trendy bar, located on the first floor of the establishment, as well as its Peruvian restaurant. Friendly and available welcome. An address with a good quality-price ratio.

In the heart of downtown, northwest of the colonial zone, this new hotel offers a direct immersion into Dominican life. Comfortable, with a quality service, the Holiday Inn has a swimming pool, a fitness center, a sauna, a bar-lounge, a business center and a café. It is also located within walking distance of shopping centers, equal distance between the Botanical Gardens and the Mirador del Sur Park and only a few minutes by taxi from the city's stadium for sports enthusiasts. Professional reception.

Portes 9 is a charming 8-room hotel located in a pretty, quiet square in the south of the colonial city. A welcoming lobby with its clean lines and Mediterranean tones leads to charming, spacious and well-equipped rooms. The multilingual staff are extremely attentive and helpful. You'll also appreciate the small rooftop terrace, with its whirlpool bath, as well as the copious and varied breakfast. A highly recommended establishment, offering excellent value for money. Don't forget to book well in advance!

A good accommodation option for those seeking peace and quiet without compromising on quality. Franky, the French-speaking owner, offers 8 rooms - recently renovated - soberly decorated but well-equipped with quality bedding, bathroom, brightness... The ground-floor restaurant serves excellent fish-based cuisine (eat-in or vacuum-packed). Thanks to its French-speaking reception, a stay at La Aldea will enable you to make contacts on arrival and plan your stay.
