The Hotel Casa Santo Domingo is more than a luxury hotel in a scenic old city. It was built on the ruins of the Santo Domingo Monastery, which was established in the Sixteenth Century and destroyed by an earthquake about 200 years later. Today, the hotel blends in seamlessly with the ruined structures of the monastery, and includes 6 museums and 2 art galleries.
If you go:
Although there is an admission charge for the museums, it's fascinating to just take a stroll around the grounds, which you can do for free. Museums open Monday to Saturday 9 am to 6 pm and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm.
