Elegant oceanfront hotel with fine dining and a spa
"Stepping into a pink-marble, Art Deco lobby evokes a bygone era in Condado; originally opened in 1919 as Puerto Rico’s first luxury hotel, it later became the island's first hotel to house a casino (in 1940, though the casino is no longer in operation). Over the years it has hosted luminaries and presidents such as Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, Jr., and it remains San Juan’s premier stay, home to the city's best spa and the only Turkish bath on the island—offering indoor and outdoor treatments that range from basic massages to a complete Hammam ritual." - Jessica Chapel
