Renaissance Santo Domingo Jaragua Hotel & Casino

On Santo Domingo’s Malecon, this oceanfront hotel puts you in the heart of the city. Walk or drive minutes to the Colonial Zone, museums, Guibia Beach and the National Pantheon. Steps from the Malecon and local nightlife, it’s a great base for downtown stays and casino nights.

Contemporary rooms and suites with chic décor and plush bedding. Nearly 300 air-conditioned guestrooms offer minibars or refrigerators, flat-panel TVs with satellite, coffee/tea makers, safes (fees may apply) and wired or wireless internet (surcharge). Many rooms deliver Caribbean sea views and easy access to the spa and pool.

Take your pick: outdoor and indoor pools, a poolside bar and three bars/lounges. Recharge at the full-service spa or the 24-hour health club. There’s a casino and a nightclub for after-dark energy, plus outdoor tennis courts, concierge services, babysitting/childcare and free self-parking. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and walk straight into the action.

A business center and meeting rooms with conference space and AV/catering options (multiple venues) make events easy. Wired and wireless internet access is available for a surcharge, and complimentary newspapers are provided in the lobby.

On-site restaurants and a coffee house serve international and locally inspired cuisine. Buffet breakfasts are available for a fee, and room service plus a poolside bar keep you fueled throughout the day.
