The 50 Best Hotel Openings of 2025
The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort, Dominican Republic
Keys: 200
Design: Acebal Canney Arquitectos & Asociados and Chapi Design
Why we love it: A narrative of cultural unity informed the story behind the idyllic retreat. At the heart of the design is the iconic faceless doll of the Dominican Republic—a symbol of the nation’s diverse heritage. Its colors and forms echo throughout the interiors, anchored by a dramatic lobby with a sculptural staircase and cascading waterfall that celebrates the island’s vibrant biodiversity.
