About Casas del XVI
Not one building but a handful of restored 16th-century houses scattered across the old city, each with a few rooms and a courtyard pool. Which house you sleep in changes the drop-off point completely, so the reservation name alone is never enough for a driver.
Address our drivers use: Casas del XVI, Ciudad Colonial, Santo Domingo (house address confirmed at booking)
The approach road
Same route as the rest of the Colonial Zone: Ozama bridge, riverside, then into the grid. The houses sit on Padre Billini, Isabel la Católica and neighbouring lanes; most have a plain colonial facade with a numbered door and no sign at all, which is exactly why guests get dropped on the wrong block by app taxis.

- 1Name-sign meet at SDQ arrivals; tell us the house name when you book, not just Casas del XVI.

Where the car stops
Kerbside at your specific house door, bags walked in. Because staff are not always waiting outside, the driver stays until someone opens.
Departure: when to leave the hotel
Leave the house three hours before an international departure — around 05:20 for an 08:30 flight. We collect at the same door we dropped you at, so tell us if you moved houses mid-stay.
What is around it
Every house is inside the walking core: cathedral, Plaza España, El Conde and the Alcázar are all five to twelve minutes on foot, and the Sans Souci cruise terminal is a five-minute drive across the river.
