Casas del XVI is located in the heart of the Ciudad Colonial, the historic centre of Santo Domingo and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotel is compromised of a number of thoughtfully renovated properties dating back to the 16th century. Maintaining the houses’ original architecture, each one is individually decorated to reflect the area’s historical and cultural significance. Each of the houses that currently make up Casas del XVI are both homely and stylish, featuring both local works of art, ancient Dominican artifacts and beautifully carved wood furniture.
Explore the Old Town, rich in 16th century history, and its maze of tiny streets that reveal a wealth of historic treasures including the Cathedral of Santa María la Menor and Alcázar de Colón, a Gothic-Mudéjar style mansion. The Museo de las Casas Reales gives a real insight into the city’s early history. Following lunch, at Casas del XVI, stroll down El Conde, the Art Deco shopping street or head to Mercado Modelo to pick up some delightful crafts.
