City Hotel
El Embajador, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, a polished five-star landmark in Santo Domingo's upscale Bella Vista neighborhood, channels old-world diplomatic glamour with modern edge, where skyline views and garden calm create a sophisticated urban retreat in the Dominican Republic's beating capital.
The 298 guestrooms keep the vibe sleek with air conditioning, flat-screen televisions, minibars, and bathrooms stocked with premium toiletries, rain showers, and deep tubs. Many open to private balconies framing the city skyline or lush residential greenery, giving business travellers a quiet corner for late-night emails, couples a spot for room-service champagne, or explorers a launchpad for downtown adventures. Ambassador Level and Royal Club upgrades bring personalized service, exclusive lounges with hors d'oeuvres, and little touches that make the stay feel effortlessly VIP.
The main restaurant plates Dominican classics like sancocho alongside international favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with daily spreads of fresh mango and strong local coffee. The chic bar shakes artisanal cocktails—try the mamajuana old fashioned—and pours wines in a lively lounge that hums into the evening. The onsite casino deals blackjack and slots for a quick thrill, while the serene pool (under maintenance January 26 to February 2) offers daybeds under palms for afternoon siestas. The concierge becomes your city insider, booking tables at nearby Cava Alta for tapas or Julieta Brasserie for French bistro fare, or mapping walks to Parque Mirador Sur's jogging trails just steps away.
A five-minute stroll to Parque Mirador Sur's lake views, 0.8 miles from the National Pantheon where colonial heroes rest, 1.2 miles from the Malecón's glowing skyline, and a smooth drive from Las Américas International Airport, El Embajador, a Royal Hideaway Hotel plants you in Santo Domingo's elegant residential pocket with the Colonial Zone's cobblestone energy, modern dining scenes, and Caribbean Sea breezes all within easy striking distance.
