Hispanola Hotel

Does anyone have the phone/fax/web address of the Hispanola Hotel in Santo Domingo. I want to reserve a room there during my visit in January after hearing the favorable remarks about this hotel. Thanks in advance-Tim.

Hi Natasha,

> > > "This hotel, along with the Hispaniola are my favorites in SD." < < <

The last time we were in SD we used the Hispaniola (my favorite hotel, moderately priced, adequate rooms, service, etc.) as sort of a "B&B", the pool side breakfast/ brunch semi-buffet (as every thing is cooked to order) was/ is excellent. Sunday mornings many Dominican families would be present for the breakfast and, possibly, the pool as sort of family outing.

The property has a definite "retro" feel, the decor and in part the manual elevator (operated by an attendant take you back to an era (40', 50', 60's) before the advent of the 'mega all inclusive', in a time when 'a coat and tie' were the rule, not the exception, for air travel. Without much trouble one can conjure up a "Buena Vista Social Club" experience, (Havana, pre Castro) and certainly Santo Domingo (Ciudad Trujillo then) when the airliners of the day sported four *BIG* radial piston engines.

As a side bar, my wife worked for a time (1970's) at the Hispaniola as secretary to the 'food & beverage' manager. Also she sort of became the 'in house' english speaking (USA) expert. . .

Regards,
