Set on Santo Domingo’s seaside, the upscale Crowne Plaza is predominantly a business hotel with a polished modern aesthetic. Its 197 rooms and suites are large, tastefully decorated, and equipped with minibars, coffeemakers, and big marble bathrooms. A turndown service with aromatherapy sleepy-time packs is a nice touch. While the pool isn’t huge, it’s beautiful and contemporary with seaside views, a chic pool bar, and a huge sundeck. Stylish Nabu restaurant serves a great buffet breakfast (though it’s not necessarily included in the rate), and other attributes include a spa, an excellent fitness center, extensive business facilities, and a casino. Guests (many regulars) appreciate the consistency and generally find the amenities here top-notch. Travelers seeking a polished hotel with more of a resort feel could try the nearby Renaissance.

The Sheraton Santo Domingo is a three-and-a-half-pearl hotel with a strong business vibe, located across from the seafront and a short drive from the Colonial Zone and its restaurants. The property's 248 guest rooms are spacious and contemporary, with flat-screen TVs, well-stocked minibars, coffeemakers, practical extras like tech plugs and bathrobes, plus free Wi-Fi, but decor is lackluster. Features include a sizable outdoor pool with a sea-facing sundeck, a modern fitness center, and an on-site restaurant with food that consistently receives high marks from guests. The Sheraton is a solid bet for business and leisure travelers alike, but those looking for more in the way of on-site dining options can consider Barcelo Santo Domingo.

With its slick urban decor and compact size, the upper-middle-range Holiday Inn feels much more like a boutique property than a chain. There’s nothing generic going on here, which can come as a pleasant surprise. Its 199 rooms and suites display bold contemporary decor, along with Nespresso machines and big sleek bathrooms. Guests (many regulars) especially love the property's consistent quality; the solid buffet breakfast (though it can cost extra); and the central city location with plenty of shopping malls and restaurants nearby. And while it is away from beaches, families and leisure travelers also enjoy this spot. The mosaic-pool terrace with alfresco lounge bar are a highlight, plus the quality restaurant, two stylish bars, and a little cafe provide plenty of on-site choice. Travelers seeking a contemporary hotel closer to the water could try the Renaissance Santo Domingo.

The Casa Naemie is a boutique hotel with a dash of homey elegance, which is surprising for a low-key budget property in Santo Domingo. The location is a major draw here -- the hotel is right in the heart of the colonial zone -- and walks to most major sights take just minutes. Funky design details blending modern and antique motifs plus abundant tropical touches create an infectious charm. The 11 rooms are private and cute, but some are compact and dark. All feature flat-screen TVs, en-suite bathrooms, and powerful air-conditioning. The included breakfast and cozy, intimate feel make this place a good value, despite the lack of parking or elevators. Nearby Casa del Sol has stronger Wi-Fi and a rooftop breakfast, though it'll be pricier.

With a beautiful terrace restaurant, ultra-modern lobby bar, and rooftop infinity pool with panoramic city views, the Billini Hotel offers an upscale city oasis. Set in the heart of Santo Domingo’s tourist-friendly Zona Colonial, the smartly designed property feels worlds away from the downtown urban hustle, but it's still within walking distance of many of the city’s restaurants, bars, shops, and Playa Montesinos. Its 24 rooms seamlessly blend modern design with original 17th-century architectural details and offer private outdoor spaces, free minibars, and a list of high-tech amenities. Guests looking for a resort-like luxury alternative may wish to consider the nearby Occidental El Embajador.

Located in Santo Domingo’s financial district, close to restaurants and shops, the upper-middle-range Radisson packs a punch for its smallish size with a solid array of amenities, big modern rooms, and freebies that include a welcome drink, varied buffet breakfast, and Wi-Fi. Its 160 rooms and suites are spotless, spacious, super comfortable, and well-equipped with coffeemakers, work desks, and minibars. Many have lovely city views, and apartment-like suites feature small kitchens. This property primarily attracts business types, but it’s also a comfortable city base for vacationers craving chain hotel consistency and a good night’s sleep -- beds are ultra fluffy. A couple drawbacks, though: The location isn't near the beach or sites, and the pool is tiny. Those after a known brand with a more slick contemporary vibe could try the nearby Holiday Inn Santo Domingo.
