Colonial Zone, Santo Domingo, Santo Domingo
Nestled in the heart of the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — Aria Santa Maria opens as Aria Hotels' first Caribbean address, in the oldest European city in the Americas.
Aria Santa Maria occupies a landmark building on Calle Las Damas, the first paved street in the New World. Suites blend restored 16th-century masonry, coral limestone and warm Caribbean colour; a shaded courtyard, plunge pool and rooftop terrace with views of the Catedral Primada de América complete the retreat. Curated experiences — private colonial tours, chef's-table dinners, rum tastings and cacao masterclasses — draw from centuries of Dominican culture.
