Hodelpa Nicolas de Ovando
Boutique Town Hotel
Our Rating
9.4
Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando, a five-star boutique gem in Santo Domingo's UNESCO-listed Colonial Zone, resurrects the 16th-century governor's mansion on the New World's first paved street, where ancient stone arches and fountain courtyards frame a time-travel stay with modern polish.
The 97 rooms weave history into comfort with air conditioning, flat-screen cable televisions, minibars, and bathrooms stocked with L'Occitane toiletries, bathrobes, and slippers. Original stone walls meet sleek design, while windows open to serene patios with whispering fountains or quiet street scenes, giving couples a romantic hideaway for candlelit evenings or explorers a launchpad for cathedral visits just steps away.
The à la carte restaurant plates authentic Dominican soul—mangu with crispy pork, fresh octopus ceviche, plantain-crusted fish—served in vaulted dining rooms or under starlit courtyards. The refined bar shakes mamajuana cocktails and pours aged Brugal rum beside the pool, where historic walls create a private oasis for afternoon dips. A fitness centre supplies cardio machines and weights, the library shelves rare books on colonial history, and billiards tables invite friendly games in wood-paneled rooms.
The concierge becomes your Colonial Zone insider, booking private tours to the Alcázar de Colón where Columbus's son once ruled, Mercado Modelo's spice-scented stalls 800 metres away, or sunset walks along the Malecón's glowing seafront 2.2 kilometres down the road. Golf courses wait for tee times, and the gift shop stocks local larimar jewelry and hand-rolled cigars.
Set 100 metres from Puerto Santo Domingo's harbor views, 800 metres from Mercado Modelo, 2.2 kilometres from the Malecón, and 23 kilometres from Las Américas International Airport, Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando plants you in the Dominican Republic's living history book, where every cobblestone leads to another layer of the Americas' oldest city waiting to unfold.

Mileiny Andujar gave us an excellent service and was very professional
This is a spectacularly beautiful old colonial building and the room we had was very grand and comfortable (it was in the Club area with its own lounge which had soft drinks and day-time snacks...
I wouldn't usually call such a revered and elegant building as this - the home of the first mayor of the first colonial city in the Western Hemisphere, Santo Domingo, homey but it actually was! We...
