"Opened in 1949, this was the first Hilton hotel outside of the mainland United States. Though a more raucous culture has been replaced by family-friendliness, the Caribe retains its glam-trop energy, attracting everyone from Gloria Swanson to Elizabeth Taylor to Johnny Depp over the years. Today, it’s the setting for San Juan’s latest comeback story, reopening after a 15-month closure following Hurricane Maria. At 652 rooms, it’s one of San Juan’s largest hotels, yet it feels more intimate than its capacity would suggest." - Kathleen Squires
