About Hotel El Convento
A former 17th century Carmelite convent in the heart of Old San Juan, Hotel El Convento has been carefully restored to retain its historical character. This charming boutique hotel has a fabulous rooftop terrace, plunge pool and three diverse restaurants. Delightful Spanish colonial architecture, with arched colonnades, surrounds a pretty interior courtyard lit with wrought-iron lamps. Inside, mahogany beams, Andalucian tiles and ornate, hand-crafted antique furniture create a comforting old-world ambience. Take a short stroll in Old San Juan and visit historic colonial buildings, museums, art galleries and ancient fortresses overlooking the Atlantic Ocean; or perhaps you would prefer to spend time relaxing at our exclusive beach club. On your return, enjoy a wine reception at La Veranda Terrace and then experience the buzzing nightlife of the old town.
Just twenty minutes from the airport and five minutes from the cruise ships piers, El Convento stands at the heart of Old San Juan, a hallowed monument from the Conquistador era.
