"Convenience and novelty are the driving forces here: cruisers will appreciate the proximity to the Pan American Pier for bookending their stays and conventioneers are steps away from the Centro de Convenciones Gobernador Pedro Roselló. ALOFT San Juan is in the center of Distrito T-Mobile, a glitzy new entertainment complex that includes Toro Verde Urban Park, complete with zipline; a dozen eating establishments ranging from cocina Criolla to tacos and Asian fusion; a multiplex cinema with the first Screen X technology in the Caribbean; a concert hall; and a central plaza with an eye-catching mega-screen. The hotel is also a 10-minute cab ride to Old San Juan, Condado and Miramar. The well-known Marriott sub-brand is the first to open in the Caribbean. The 177 rooms follow the brand’s design ethic: minimal “lofty” cool with pops of color, accented with art that mimics the neon jungle of Distrito. There’s a fitness center and outdoor pool on the third level; touchless technology with mobile keys, amenities upon chat request, and complimentary Wifi; pets are welcomed, too." - Kathleen Squires
