Overview
Standing over the cobblestone streets of Santo Domingo's Zona Colonial, this historic hotel occupies the former home of Santo Domingo's founder, Governor Nicolás de Ovando. The building features historical decor like stucco walls and wrought-iron accents. Rooms are spacious with high ceilings, satellite TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi access and minibars. When you're not snoozing or out exploring the city, recent guests recommend seeking respite from the heat by the outdoor pool or enjoy a glass of wine on the lobby bar's Spanish-style patio. The bar also serves lighter fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. For more upscale meals, dine at Restaurante 1502. Overall, past travelers enjoyed their stays here. However, some were less than impressed with the hotel's service, saying that they expected more hospitable staff, especially given the property's pricey room rates.

In the remnants of Columbus's former domain lies the Nicolas de Ovando, Santo Domingo’s first small-scale, big-service hotel. The property is named after one of the city’s earliest Spanish governors, and its ... rooms are divided among his sixteenth-century home and a pair of more recent additions.
The hotel incorporates three houses and patios built in 1502 for Santo Domingo's founder and governor, Nicolas de Ovando. The 5-star property is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its numerous colonial courtyards, fountains and gardens are the perfect place to snack on organic Dominican chocolate or to smoke an authentic cigar.
Dating back to 1502, original architectural features have been cleverly integrated into stunning public areas. Rooms range from contemporary to Colonial styles and vary in the level of sophistication.
