Where to sleep in Santo Domingo — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Zona Colonial — the first city
Columbus-era stone, plaza cafés and boutique conversions — 500 years at your door.
Malecón — seafront towers
Caribbean-facing highrises with merengue in the lobbies.
Piantini & Naco — modern polish
The business district's restaurants and malls.
Gazcue — leafy old-residential
Quiet streets between the colonial zone and the sea.
