Kimpton Las Mercedes: Contemporary Luxury in a 16th-Century Convent

The Kimpton Las Mercedes has arrived to redefine what it means to stay in the First City of the Americas. Set within a structure dating back to 1580, the hotel strikes a perfect balance between original coral stone walls and modern architecture by the Moneo Brock studio. It’s where history feels alive, but with the comfort of a five-star resort.

🌟 A sensory experience at every corner From the moment you step into the lobby, you realize this is no ordinary hotel. The interior design celebrates Dominican culture with local art and noble materials like travertine and wood. The real showstopper is the central courtyard: a peaceful oasis with mango and oak trees where you can enjoy breakfast or dinner al fresco at El Patio.

For foodies, the Zola restaurant offers Northern Italian cuisine with a retractable roof that lets you dine under the stars. But the best-kept secret is the El Pozo Cigar & Rum Lounge, built around an actual 500-year-old well discovered during the building's restoration. It’s the pro spot for a pairing of Dominican rum and a fine cigar!

💡 The Go Visit Tip: Don't miss the "Social Hour" every evening. It’s a Kimpton tradition offering complimentary wine and local rums for guests. It’s the perfect time to mingle and kick off your night in the Zone.
