Hotel Best Western Premier Santo Domingo

Frommer's Review

This stylish, carefully decorated hotel rises from a position adjacent to the Gran Vía, a 2-minute walk from the Plaza de España. It was inaugurated in 1994, after an older building -- containing the main law courts of the Spanish Inquisition -- was gutted and reconfigured into the comfortable and atmospheric structure you'll see today. The marble-lined entrance opens into an elegant art-filled interior filled with 18th-century ceramics, copies of Golden Age paintings, and romantic prints. Rooms are decorated individually, each in a style a wee bit different from that of its neighbor, in pastel-derived shades. Some contain gold damask wall coverings, faux tortoiseshell desks, and striped satin bedspreads. Bathrooms are generally spacious and outfitted with ceramics and marble slabs. The best units are the fifth-floor doubles, especially those with furnished balconies and views over the tile roofs of Old Madrid. Each is soundproofed to guard against noise from the street and from its neighbors. The hotel restaurant is heavy with vegetarian dishes.
