Hodelpa Nicolas de Ovando is an iconic hotel located in the heart of the Colonial City of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This emblematic hotel is housed in a restored historic building that perfectly blends vintage style with contemporary touches. Its architectural features, such as exposed brick, thick wooden beams on the ceiling, arches, and doors with windows, preserve its original essence.
Located on the historic Las Damas street, the first paved street in the New World, the hotel reflects the Caribbean history of Christopher Columbus. The three houses that make up the hotel maintain their original construction of over 515 years, preserving their spirit and tradition intact. This unique space, which was once the Palace of the First Governor of the Americas, Nicolás de Ovando, transports visitors to a bygone era while offering luxury and comfort.
In addition to its rich history, Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando offers its guests a unique experience with modern amenities, including an outdoor pool, gym, massage areas, a restaurant specializing in Dominican cuisine and a bar.
