Hilton Santo Domingo

Frommer's Review

A soaring, artfully designed tower set directly on the seafront, this is the finest, tallest, and most desirable hotel in Santo Domingo. Its inauguration added the first new major hotel to the nation's capital in 15 years, and its location at the corner of the pivotal Maximo Gomez filled what had until then been a gaping dark hole on a key building site in one of the town's showplace neighborhoods. It was configured as part of the Malecón Center, a waterside development that includes three separate towers for condominiums, a 21-story hotel, the newest casino in town, and a small but choice shopping mall. We prefer its ultra-comfortable rooms to any others in town. This hotel is not, and doesn't even try to be, a full-service resort, but if you want to play tennis or golf, the concierge can set it up for you. Rooms, which begin on the eighth floor and go upward from there, are richly furnished and plush, with excellent beds and in most cases, views that stretch far out to sea. Visitors since the inauguration of this hotel have included South African archbishop Desmond Tutu and actors Robert De Niro, Jaime Fox, Colin Farrell, and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
