El Beaterio Casa Museo Hotel - Santo Domingo

Historic 16th-century convent turned guest house in Santo Domingo's UNESCO-listed Colonial Zone

Accommodations & Grounds

El Beaterio Casa Museo operates out of a restored 16th-century convent with original coral stone walls. The guest house has 11 rooms, each with cast iron furniture and exposed beams. Rooms open onto a lush courtyard with Spanish tile and tropical plants.

Dining & Breakfast

The hotel serves a daily complimentary breakfast that includes made-to-order eggs, fresh-squeezed juices, and a house-made papaya marmalade. Breakfast is offered in the dining room or courtyard. There is a bar on site that offers wine and champagne by the glass.

Roof Terrace & Views

El Beaterio guest house has a rooftop terrace that provides panoramic views of Santo Domingo. The terrace is accessible to all guests and includes seating areas. This is one of few places in the Colonial Zone with an elevated view of the city.

History & Museum Displays

Throughout the property, the Casa Museo has display cases and plaques with 16th- and 17th-century objects found during renovation. The walls are built of coral stone, a material used in the city's original colonial buildings. Information boards explain the building's history in both English and Spanish.
