History
Kimpton Las Mercedes is set within a sensitively restored 16th-century colonial building complex on Calle Las Mercedes in the heart of Santo Domingo's Ciudad Colonial, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the oldest European-founded city in the Americas. The historic core includes the Casa San Pedro, built in the late 1500s, where the Cuban national hero José Martí is said to have stayed in 1892 while meeting revolutionary leader Máximo Gómez.
Restored by acclaimed architect Rafael Moneo and his firm Moneo Brock — which revitalised the central courtyard with a series of vertically arranged volumes and new patios — with interiors by Pepe Deudero and Linnette Nardi, the hotel opened in the summer of 2024 as the first Kimpton property in the Dominican Republic. Owned by Megeve Investment Office and operated by Iberostar Group, it offers 130 rooms plus eight rooftop suites, a rooftop pool and bar, and three dining venues.
