There are so many historical sights to behold simply walking around the colonial zone of Santo Domingo, and the Monastery of San Francisco is no exception. Built by Franciscan friars in 1508, the ruins of the towering arches and beautiful brickwork remain today as a reminder of the rich history that fills Santo Domingo’s cobbled streets. Today, as well as a historical attraction, it is also the sight of open-air music and theatre events.

Surrounded by the museums and shops of the Plaza de le Cultura stands the beautiful Eduardo Brito National Theatre. Hosting operas, ballet and musical performances throughout the year, this is the perfect way to spend an evening in Santo Domingo!

Take a trip to the Amber World Museum where you can learn all about the semiprecious gem that can be found all over the Dominican Republic. Discover its history, how it has been harvested over the years, and what exactly the unique qualities of Dominican Amber are!

When the hotel was under construction many of the historic features proudly on show today were under cover. For example, the 450-year old columns that shape the hotel’s Castil Restaurant were carefully unearthed and have been preserved to maintain the historical and cultural significance of the building, located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Colonial City. This is vitally important, as the building has a rich and varied history that must not be erased. The building was first built in the 16^th Century serving as the house for the Regina Angelorum Convent, to later become the site of the historic San Luis Gonzaga School. Preservation of this Dominican history and culture stands proudly alongside the hotel’s commitment to luxury and tranquillity.
