Casas Del XVI

Seven suites spread across two gloriously restored colonial villas in Santo Domingo's historic center, with a Michelin Key to its name. The concept is 16th-century Spanish nobility, and the hotel commits: four-poster beds, tiled floors, and colonial antiques share space with purple walls, pineapple-shaped light fixtures, and floating bathtubs. The courtyard pool glows turquoise at night while a butler materializes with a mojito before you've properly decided you wanted one.
