Where lively urban vibes and peaceful ocean views collide, Fairmont El San Juan Hotel is located on the award-winning Isla Verde Beach, minutes away from Old San Juan, the downtown San Juan area and Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport. The hotel features 388 guestrooms, suites, and poolside and oceanfront villas; full service, state-of-the-art Well & Being spa and fitness center; 4 pools with swim-up bar and luxury cabanas; pro-level tennis court; watersport rentals including jet skis, banana boats and parasailing; and 11 celebrated food and beverage venues.
Designed by legendary Miami Beach architect Morris Lapidus, the resort officially opened its doors on February 1, 1958, as El San Juan Hotel. By the 1960s, the hotel became one of the island’s most visited destinations due to its superb oceanfront location and premium nightlife, featuring performances from top entertainers including Sammy Davis Jr., Nat King Cole, Milton Berle, Paul Anka, Liza Minelli, Marco Antonio Muñiz and Julio Iglesias.
The hotel reopened in December 2018 following a $65 million restoration led by world renowned designer Jeffrey Beers, which married the hotel’s legendary past and old-world elegance with a reimagined approach to wellness and lavishness. From its storied décor and inspired cuisine to its renowned gathering spaces and lush poolscape, Fairmont El San Juan Hotel is an authentic celebration of Puerto Rico’s traditions, old and new, for locals and travelers alike.
