Napolitano Hotel & Casino, George Washington Avenue

The four-star Napolitano Hotel & Casino in Santo Domingo is a beautiful location not only for its proximity to the Caribbean, but also for its location next to the UNESCO World Heritage Colonial District. The city, named by Christopher Columbus, is home to fine Old World architecture infused with a distinctive New World flavor. The Napolitano provides excellent service to guests of both its hotel and its casino.

The Napolitano Casino, open daily from 4PM to 4AM, presents its guests with a unique gaming experience. There are 16 tables that offer Blackjack, Poker, Roulette and Pai Gow. There are also 40 gaming machines – slots, video Poker and other electronic favorites. Remember though, that this is not a resort, so business casual dress is required; leave your sandals at the hotel.

With 300 rooms to choose from, the Napolitano offers standard, deluxe and superior rooms, all of which have views of the sea, air conditioning, cable television, mini-bar and 24-hour room and front desk services. For luxurious, book a suite and enjoy a classic upscale Caribbean experience. Each suite provides a separate living room, dining table and extra bedroom.

At Napolitano Restaurant, open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, patrons enjoy an scrumptious blend of European and Latin American cuisine. For something a little more romantic, there’s the Terrace, an intimate dining establishment with exquisite views of the Caribbean. When you’re done with your dinner, head to the Lobby Bar for some quiet socializing and a fine cocktail.

There are a few leisure activities available at Napolitano. You can keep up with your exercise routine at the gym, which gives guests access to both free weights and cardio machines. There is also a full service spa which provides guests with massage services as well as the latest beauty treatments. For activity, head down to the sandy beach and go for a swim in the warm tropical waters.

When the sun goes down, Santo Domingo comes to life. Step beyond the hotel grounds into the Colonial District and find countless bars, restaurants, dance clubs and live music venues. There are limitless styles and music genres playing throughout the city so just explore until you find the place that’s right for you.

Aside from the obvious beach and ocean, there are other attractions in Santo Domingo to occupy your time. See a fine array of flora and fauna at one of the largest zoos in Latin America, the National Zoological Gardens. Check out the first cathedral build in the New World and visit the first Spanish fort, build shortly after Columbus landed on the island of Hispaniola.  You won’t be disappointed.
