If you’re a traveler who relishes a piece of history in every city you visit, discover and experience Hotel El Convento sitting right in the heart of historic Old San Juan in the capital city of Puerto Rico, San Juan. It’s a historic stately landmark that exudes the old world romantic allure of regal Spanish colonial architecture while taking care not to be left out from the sophisticated luxuries of a 21st century luxury hotel.

 

 

By the way, in case you’re wondering, Hotel El Convento literally means “the convent hotel” in Spanish. That’s because the hotel was a convent that served the Carmelite nuns for the last 360 years. Converted to house the more worldly appointments that delight a tired discerning traveler with upscale tastes, the hotel takes pride in earning four diamonds from AAA ever since opening as a hotel.  It is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the Small Luxury Hotel of the World.
