Maison Gautreaux

In Gascue, Santo Domingo’s historic, elite neighborhood — steps from the Malecón and a short stroll to Hostos Park and El Obelisco Macho. Minutes from Sambil Santo Domingo, Calle El Conde and the National Palace, this boutique city hotel puts the best of the capital within reach.

Housed in a centennial Gautreaux family home, the small boutique property (about 18–20 rooms) mixes cozy, personalized service with classic Caribbean charm. Rooms are air-conditioned and feature cable TV, in-room safes, ceiling fans, hair dryers and phones with free local calls. Expect warm, familiar decor and a relaxed, homey vibe.

Soak in the hot tub/spa tub, take in city views from the terrace or wander the garden. Complimentary wireless internet, concierge and tour/ticket assistance keep plans simple. Laundry and dry-cleaning are available, and a roundtrip airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge — perfect for sea-breeze mornings after a night on the Malecón.

A business center, banquet hall and meeting/presentation facilities support events and conferences. Complimentary newspapers, dry cleaning and concierge services round out practical conveniences.

An on-site restaurant serves satisfying meals and the bar/lounge is a casual spot for drinks. Room service is available during limited hours for late arrivals or quiet nights in.
