The 20 Best Hotels in Puerto Rico

"This is a stylish example of why San Juan is much more than just a beach town and with a location especially attractive to those seeking cultural immersion. The 56 rooms are designed with light sand and wood tones, echoing the city’s historic architecture with arched windows, iron chandeliers, cascading greenery and art by locals. Balcony suites overlook the city’s iconic Plaza Colon. The hotel is surrounded by the oldest city in the Americas and over 500 years of history. The blue-cobblestoned streets are a delight to get lost in, with a piece of history around every corner, from the forts of El Morro and San Cristobal to the bar that birthed the Piña Colada. The shopping, the monuments, restaurants and bars—including one of the “50 Best” in the world—offer endless entertainment. The hotel is particularly convenient for those passing through the port." - Kathleen Squires
