Santo Domingo stays planned by TAYA
El Embajador, a Royal Hideaway Hotel is a 298-room city hotel on Avenida Sarasota in Santo Domingo’s Bella Vista district, set in landscaped gardens with views toward the Caribbean. Two restaurants, two bars, a casino and the Bi Wellness and Spa give the property its range, while a single pool anchors the garden setting. There is no on-site beach, so the stay centers on the grounds rather than the shoreline.

The hotel offers 298 rooms across a garden property in Santo Domingo, sold on room-only or breakfast rates. Facilities include one pool, two restaurants, two bars, a casino, the Bi Wellness and Spa, a fitness center and a business center.
The pace is calm and grounded in the gardens, which frame the pool and set the hotel apart from tower-style city properties. Common areas carry an elegant, classic character, and service runs attentive rather than hurried. The layout and event facilities suit both private stays and organized functions. The trade-off is the rooms: updates vary across the inventory, so condition differs from one room to another.
Rates are sold as room-only or with breakfast. A buffet breakfast is included for Ambassador and Royal Level guests. The casino, spa, beauty parlor, restaurants and bars are available on site; their cost is set by the rate and venue rather than included by default.
The hotel counts 298 rooms. Named categories include the Executive Junior Suite and the Executive Junior Suite Pool View, which also appears as the property’s listed suite category.
Accommodation choices center on the Executive Junior Suite and the Executive Junior Suite Pool View. Both carry the same suite designation, with the Pool View name marking the distinction between the two listed categories.
The Executive Junior Suite is the hotel’s named suite category, joined by the Executive Junior Suite Pool View as the other listed option. Ambassador and Royal Level guests receive a buffet breakfast as part of that tier’s coverage.
Two restaurants and two bars cover dining, with a casino, spa, fitness center, steam rooms, beauty parlor, business center, basketball court, playground, tour desk and gift shop rounding out the facilities.
Dining runs through two restaurants, El Jardin Gourmet Restaurant and Los Porches, plus two bars, including Las Cotorras Bar. The buffet breakfast serves Ambassador and Royal Level guests. With a casino and gardens on the same property, evening options extend beyond the dinner table.
One pool sits within the landscaped gardens, and there is no on-site beach. The Bi Wellness and Spa and a fitness center handle wellness, with steam rooms available as well. Active options include a basketball court and a casino, while a children’s playground, beauty parlor, tour desk and gift shop cover family and practical needs.
