PRO HOTELS hotels in Santo Domingo

Nestled in the heart of the oldest city in the New World, Santo Domingo’s Ciudad Colonial, are the houses that make up Casas del XVI offering travelers the chance to step back in time to experience the vibrant culture, romantic architecture and stunning monuments born of the Spanish settlers. The hotel preserves the beauty of the colonial houses that make up the old town neighborhood, offering guests accommodations in individual houses dating back to the earliest European settlers. The hotel opened with two houses in March 2014, and will eventually expand to encompass a collection of 20 homes in the colonial quarter. A third house, Casa Macoris, opened in August 2015. The fourth residence, Casa del Diseñador, opened in January 2017. The fifth home, Casa Antillana, opened its doors on September 2017. Sprinkled within a few blocks of one another, the iconic houses date from the Spanish Colonial era with classic roman roofs and brick arches remaining intact today. With a focus on preserving the original architecture and celebrating the vibrant Dominican culture, the interior of each house is decorated according to themes relating to Dominican culture and the Spanish colonial era. Featuring an eclectic mix of ancient artifacts, local artwork and handcrafted furniture, the cozy home interior enchants guests with its colonial charm. A butler in each house tends to guests’ every need, allowing for an unforgettable experience of historic luxury.
