InterContinental Santo Domingo

Opened in 2016 and rising 21 stories above downtown's busy streets, the InterContinental is good for those looking for contemporary luxury. Its plush rooms, three restaurants, wraparound infinity pool and spa are housed in a sleek glass tower, and common areas feature sky-high ceilings and glitzy chandeliers. Nonguests can grab a cocktail at the pool bar Blu, which offers excellent city views.
