Santo Domingo is one of the great nightlife capitals of the Caribbean, and it’s also home to some seriously good hotels — with bars to match. Here are six of our favourites. What are yours?
Cibao Bar – MGallery Hostal Nicolas de Ovando
This is one of our favourite hotels in Santo Domingo. The cigar-focused Cibao bar is a taste of Santo Domingo as it once was.
Terraza — Napolitano Hotel and Casino
Terraza at the Napolitano is one of the city’s great rooftop retreats, day or night.
Sol y Sombra Bar — Hilton Santo Domingo
Happy hour is the time to visit this bar at one of the city’s premier hotels (Sol y Sombra is also a terrific restaurant).
Bar Las Cotorras — Occidental El Embajador
This bar is located in the gardens of the Occidental El Embajador, and is a serene getaway from the bustle of the capital.
Marrakech Wine & Tapas Bar — Hotel Santo Domingo
A slice of Morocco in Dominican Republic, Marrakech is a Spanish and North African-themed oasis, whether you’re looking for wine and small bites or a cocktail.
Le Patio — MGallery Frances Santo Domingo
Relax in the old-fashioned courtyard of the Frances Santo Domingo, by day or night.
