    Colonial immersion in Saint-Domingue

    Right in the heart of the historic district of Santo Domingo stands an unusual boutique hotel, brilliantly bringing together 6 colonial houses with unique charm: Casas del XVI. Meticulously restored, the oldest buildings date back to the 16th century and each offers its own distinct atmosphere, rich with antique works of art, carved furniture and original architectural elements dating back to the first European settlers. The hotel thus preserves the beauty of the colonial houses that make up the old town of Santo Domingo while offering modern comfort and high-end services, including butler service, a private chef and an outdoor swimming pool. Located close to one another, the 6 Casas celebrate Dominican culture: Casa del Pozo illustrates the juxtaposition of the ancient and the contemporary; Casa del Diseñador pays tribute to the island's designers; Casa del Árbol gives pride of place to nature; Casa de los Mapas evokes Spanish colonial explorations; Casa Macorís reveals Dominican folkloric charm; Casa Antillana evokes the tropical atmosphere of the Antilles. After exploring the colonial centre of the Dominican capital, a UNESCO World Heritage site, what could be better than sipping a cocktail on the charming terrace of one of the Casas, amidst the gentleness of palm trees and the gentle lapping of fountains?
