Billini Hotel  

In Santo Domingo’s Colonial Zone, on Padre Billini Street, this luxury boutique hotel sits inside a restored colonial building. You’re a short walk from Columbus Park and the Ozama Fortress, with Alcázar de Colón and the National Palace close by.

Once a 16th–17th century guesthouse for a monastery and convent, the property blends ancient walls with avant‑garde design. The 24 world‑class suites pair modernism and simplicity with state‑of‑the‑art in‑room tech — think tablet controls, LED TVs, pillowtop beds with down comforters and designer toiletries.

Pamper yourself at the on‑site spa offering massages, body treatments and facials. There’s an outdoor pool, a 24‑hour fitness center and bikes to rent. Concierge services, gift shops/newsstands and complimentary wired and wireless internet round out the perks. Pet‑friendly and set within historic stonework — wake up to sunlight on centuries‑old walls.

A 24‑hour business center and 2,400 sq ft of conference and meeting space make events easy. Express check‑out, dry cleaning/laundry and a cruise‑ship terminal shuttle are available, plus on‑site valet parking.

Three on‑site restaurants include Castil Restaurant serving international cuisine. A coffee shop/cafe, poolside bar and bar/lounge keep things casual. 24‑hour room service is available and buffet breakfasts run from 7–11 AM for a fee.
