Crowne Plaza Santo Domingo Dominican Republic (Master Thread)
I couldn't find an existing thread on this hotel. Has anyone stayed here recently? I have an upcoming stay booked in September and opted for a club level room (2 rooms actually, as there are 4 of us) as it wasn't much more. However, not sure if the club is even open (due to COVID) or if it is, how good their breakfast and evening cocktail hour offerings are. Any recent experiences are appreciated....thanks!

We returned to Santo Domingo a week later, and decided to switch to the Intercontintal. This is a better hotel situated in the main business area as opposed to the beach front. IC had a good restaurant, and was fairly busy.
Hard to say what will be open or closed in September though.

We stayed there on 24th June, and club was closed. They were serving meals in the lobby bar area, as restaurants were closed.

As a tourist destination dotted with luxury hotels, Punta Cana is more appealing.

Yeah, we are spending the bulk of our trip in Punta Cana and Las Terrenas. The Santo Domingo part is to check out the colonial district (which I've read good things about) and to position for our early morning flight out of SDQ.

It appears that this hotel used to be a Hilton, which is where I stayed when I visited Santo Domingo for a few days in 2015. If so, I found the hotel to be fine for a short stay and had no problems walking around the area during the day (I wasn’t out at night, so I can’t speak to that). I enjoyed my time in the city, especially the colonial area, and hope to return one day to see more.
