Following a property-wide multi-million-dollar renovation, one of the most extensive since its inception in 1958, the El San Juan Hotel will reopen on February 5 as part of Curio - A Collection by Hilton.
In addition to all 388 guest rooms being completely remodeled, there is a new pool, 22 luxury cabanas, a new fitness center and spa, modern meeting spaces, new restaurants, upgraded shops, and a modernized rendition of the hotel's legendary lobby in addition to an 11,000-square-foot grand ballroom space. The hotel overlooks two miles of beach in the Isla Verde Beach district of San Juan.
The front of the hotel has been completely redone and upgraded, and features a custom sculpture designed by local artist, Luis Torruella. An eight-foot sphere floating in a pool of water is inspired by the island and hotel's close relationship with music, dance, and nature.
"As one of San Juan's most historic buildings, El San Juan Hotel is the perfect choice for our collection's first property in Puerto Rico," said Mark Nogal, global head of Curio. "The hotel's commitment to local experiences, through its art, culinary offerings, and programming is sure to draw the Curio traveler looking for an authentic and distinctive stay."
This is the first Curio property in Puerto Rico.
