Hyatt Hotels opens Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo, the first Hyatt Centric-branded hotel in the Caribbean. Located within the Ensanche Piantini neighborhood, the lifestyle property is situated in the Dominican Republic’s capital, which offers high-end shopping to upscale dining and entertainment, as well as the Colonial Zone—a UNESCO World Heritage Site 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,” GM Luis Emilio Gomez Garcia said in a statement. “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-inch HDTVs, Wi-Fi and more.
Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo is 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 has live music acts every evening. The Burble Rooftop Bar has a resident DJ and pool. For a quick grab-and-go option, Café Caobana is located on the lobby terrace of the hotel, with a curated beverage and pastry menu showcasing local Dominican favorites.
Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo has 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 11th-floor terrace has views of the landscape of the Piantini district, ideal for outdoor weddings and receptions. Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo also has a rooftop pool and 24-hour fitness center.
Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo marks the first Hyatt Centric-branded hotel in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean, joining more than 60 other Hyatt Centric hotels globally.
