You mean some of them aren't friendly to their guests? Doesn't seem like they remain in business for long.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

They're are an awful lot of hotels in Santo Domingo. If you could narrow down the area, or if you had specific hotels in mind, I'm sure someone would be able to provide you with an answer.

To be quite honest I know nothing about Santo Domingo. I have been to Sosua 5 times and just returned from a very nice trip to Boca Chica. I had such a great time on the South Coast I want to make another trip soon. This time it will be split between BC and SD.

I guess the area doesn't matter that much since I know nothing about the city.

El Señorial, a Swiss-Dominican familly hotel with a great restaurant and positioned near the Obelisk on the Malecón, one block up Presidente. Borgus.
Walking distance to all in the Colonial Zone, the action part of the Malecón and close enough to Bellas Artes and museums, but also walking distance to great restaurants like Vesuvio, Asadero Argentino, etc. etc.

Thanks for the lead. I did a search but did not find a web page. I sent them an email to see if they have one. A great restaurant? That's a good beginning.

I concur with El Señorial, the food is great in the restaurant. Swiss run by a serious owner.

This will be trip #6 to the DR for me. I am doing my research on SDQ, and as usual I start with DR1 info. The places that I find of interest are the Colonial Zone and the Malecon. Is El Senorial within walking distance of these areas? I don't mind walking, as a matter of fact it is my preferred way of travel. You get to see so much more on foot.

Thanks for the info.

It is one block from the Malecon and a longer walk to the Colonial Zone.

The Hotel Riazor number is (809) 685-5566.

Calle Independencia (behind La Jaragua)...good location.

About USD$50-55 per night...great security...clean and nice rooms...breakfast included...walking distance to everything.

"longer walk" ????? Can I take that to mean I would be better off with a taxi? I love being near the ocean so I think most of my time would be walking the Malecon (correct?). I most definetly would want to spend an entire day in Zona Colonial doing the turista thing while getting an education at the same time. But by night I like to play.
