Art galleries and museums, shops selling top brands, live music, and historical buildings combine the colonial past and emerging modernity of Santo Domingo. Located at the mouth of the Ozama River and with the Caribbean Sea lapping its golden shores, the city is full of exclusive corners in which to immerse yourself while at Royal Hideaway Luxury Hotels & Resorts in Santo Domingo.

Wandering through the Colonial City of Santo Domingo is to feel the history of what is considered the oldest colonial city in the Americas.

The detailed yet elegant architecture of the buildings in the Colonial Zone is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Columbus Park will be the ideal place to enter the traditional streets full of authenticity: initially known as Plaza Mayor, it is presided over by the Catedral Primada de América, which housed the remains of Christopher Columbus. Walking along Las Damas Street will give you the best glimpse of where Spanish noblewomen gathered in colonial times and will remind you of the exclusivity of the Royal Hideaway Luxury Hotels & Resorts in Santo Domingo.

In the New City, the boardwalk offers the possibility of a leisurely stroll along the sea. Calle El Conde, the Columbus Lighthouse, and the neighborhood of Gazcue are other must-see places to discover the modern essence of the city. In the outer parts of the city, the Bella Vista sector is one of the city's most exclusive areas: the commercial and business area is integrated with a luxurious residential area that houses the best hotels. Royal Hideaway Luxury Hotels & Resorts in Santo Domingo is an icon of the city and the best possible host in this Caribbean country.

The Dominican capital is at its most vibrant moment, which you can experience from the hotels in Santo Domingo of the Barceló Hotel Group.
