Hotel Santo Domingo

Frommer's Review

Run by Premier Resorts & Hotels, the Hotel Santo Domingo is tastefully extravagant without having the glitzy overtones of the Jaragua . Those seeking local character in a home-grown hotel should check in here. This waterfront hotel sits on 6 tropical hectares (15 acres), 15 minutes from the downtown area, in the La Feria district.

Oscar de la Renta helped design the interior. Most of the rooms have views of the sea, though some face the garden. Accommodations have bright floral carpets, tasteful Caribbean fabrics, and mirrored closets along with firm double beds. Bathrooms are tiled with tub/shower combos and adequate shelf space. The superior Excel Club rooms offer sea-view balconies and other amenities. Excel guests also have access to a private lounge.

The cuisine is among the finest hotel food in the capital.
