CASAS DEL XVI

CASAS DEL XVI

While most of the recent hotel openings here involve brand-new builds, this heritage property in Santa Domingo’s Ciudad Colonial gives guests a more historical experience. The seven rooms in a collection of restored 16th-century homes mix contemporary art with old architectural design, like original vaulted brick archways. Each house has its own personality and uniquely designed guest rooms: Casa del Arbol retains the feel of an aristocratic residence with rooms opening directly on to a lush courtyard, while colonial-tropical

Casa de los Mapas, filled with historic maps, will tickle the fancy of modern-day explorers. Personalised service starts from the moment you arrive at the airport, and butlers are always on hand in the tranquil homes

away from home.
