Tourexpi
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H)
announced today the opening of Hyatt
Centric Santo Domingo, the first Hyatt Centric branded hotel in the
Caribbean. Located within the stylish Ensanche Piantini neighborhood, this new
lifestyle property welcomes savvy business and leisure travelers to explore the
historical and modern sites in the Dominican Republic’s capital, from high-end
shopping to upscale dining and entertainment, as well as the UNESCO World
Heritage Site recognized Colonial Zone, renowned for its 16th-century
architecture and iconic landmarks such as Alcázar de Colón and the Cathedral of
the Americas.
“Hyatt
Centric Santo Domingo’s prime location offers a launchpad for modern travelers
to connect with the best of what the city has to offer,” said Luis Emilio Gomez
Garcia, General Manager, Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo. “As the first Hyatt
Centric branded property in the Dominican Republic, we look forward to crafting
memorable experiences for guests and offering a gateway to Piantini’s culture,
historic landmarks, attractions and more.”
With
130 guestrooms and suites, the hotel’s modern and contemporary design is
inspired by the work of Dominican artist, Thimo Pimentel, visible through art
and ceramic installations using a terracotta red, white, and black color
palette. The use of natural materials and colorful wooden sculptures by local
artist, Patricio Correa, celebrates the region’s culture and joy. While the
guestrooms feature custom ceramic pieces inspired by Pimentel and Antillean
culture, common areas showcase artwork that highlights the energy and spirit of
Santo Domingo, including sculptures depicting fish, figurative bust figures,
and carnival masks. Each guestroom offers a sophisticated, modern design with
multifunctional amenities, including 55” flat-screen HDTVs, complimentary Wi-Fi
and more.
Hyatt
Centric Santo Domingo puts guests at the center of Santo Domingo's tantalizing
culinary landscape, home to four dining venues including Aon Food &
Mood located on the lobby level, remixing island and international flavors
with locally sourced ingredients to provide an elevated buffet
experience. The Lobby Bar is an ideal space to connect with others
for a glass of wine or afternoon tea, with live music acts every evening. Those
seeking a rooftop experience with a resident DJ and pool can look no further
than Burble Rooftop Bar, with snacks and smoothies to enjoy poolside by
day, and cocktails, lite bites, and panoramic city views by night. For a quick
grab-and-go option, Café Caobana is a lush oasis located on the lobby
terrace of the hotel, offering a curated beverage and pastry menu showcasing
local Dominican favorites.
Hyatt
Centric Santo Domingo also offers versatile event spaces with 12,976 square
feet of flexible meeting and event space, accommodating up to 358 people. With
panoramic views of the local cityscape, the standout 11th-floor terrace
provides a picturesque and shareworthy landscape of the Piantini district,
ideal for outdoor weddings and receptions. Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo also
features a rooftop pool and 24-hour fitness center.
