Sheraton Santo Domingo: Luxury Meets Local Charm
Savor the perfect tourist locale at Republica Dominicana
Why we love it
The setting
The Sheraton Santo Domingo sits on George Washington Avenue, the seafront road locals call the Malecon. Rooms and terraces look out over the Caribbean, and the Colonial Zone is a short ride or a 20-minute walk along the water. You are close to the old city without giving up sea views, a pool deck and quiet evenings away from the busier streets inland.
What to expect
The room a couple would book is a comfortable standard double with a desk, a sitting chair and a window over the gardens or pool. Breakfast can be added at booking. Downstairs there is a seafront pool with a separate hot tub, a fitness room and a couple of lounge areas off the lobby. Staff are often singled out in reviews for being helpful, which makes a five-night stay feel easy to settle into.
Things to do nearby
Atlantis World Casino is about 200 metres away, and Parque Eugenio Maria de Hostos is roughly 350 metres on foot. Mercado Modelo, the covered craft market, is around 1.8 km from the door. The Colonial Zone, a UNESCO site with the Catedral Primada de America and the Alcazar de Colon, is about 1.9 km along the seafront, easy by taxi or a flat walk.
Best for
Couples who want sea views and the Colonial Zone within reach, plus a pool to come back to after a day in the old city.
