CHICAGO (October 25, 2024) — 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.
