The convent of 1374 found new fame as the White Lotus.

A 14th-century Dominican convent turned luxury hotel, the San Domenico gained a new kind of fame as the setting for the second season of The White Lotus. The cloisters, the chapel, the terraced gardens overlooking the Ionian Sea — all appeared on screen and looked exactly as extraordinary as they do in person. The hotel has been welcoming guests since 1896, and the Four Seasons renovation preserved the monastic architecture while adding the group's signature level of comfort. 111 rooms, a clifftop infinity pool, and a history that stretches from medieval monks to HBO.
