The Best Western Santa Domingo Hotel is housed in a renovated, traditional, 6-storey building that dates back some 400 years and originally served as the law courts of the Spanish Inquisition. The marble-clad entrance opens into a spacious lobby, elegantly appointed with 18th century ceramics, copies of Golden Age paintings, and romantic prints. The 120 guestrooms are individually designed, though most feature predominantly pastel toned décor, complemented, in different cases, by gold damask wall coverings, faux tortoiseshell desks, and striped satin bedspreads. All are clean and well maintained, as are the en suite bathrooms, equipped with ceramics, marble slabs, and tub/shower combos. The hotel’s Inquisicion Restaurant serves International cuisine for lunch and dinner, as well as offering a Continental style buffet breakfast every morning.
