Casas del XVI

The spirit of Santo Domingo permeates Casas del XVI, a remarkable hotel comprising restored buildings in the city's Zona Colonial. The property sprawls across six house settings, which all aim to combine distinct cultural influences with modern luxury. One house setting sports colonial maps and handcrafted art, another boasts brick floors and white walls accented by bright colors, and an additional house features wood, old plasters and preserved antiques. Just because Casas del XVI shows a reverence for the past doesn't mean that its guests are forced to forgo modern comforts. Amenities befit the property's high price and include iPhones and iPads on loan, flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi access, Antica Farmacista toiletries and even butler service, which impressed past travelers. What's more, Casas del XVI's Connoisseurs Program takes care of any excursions during a stay and includes offerings like clay classes, cigar workshops, art tours, cooking shows and more. Also, keep in mind that this hotel is a part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, which means that members of the INVITED rewards program can redeem reward nights here.
